The New Netherlander Antilles, also known as the New Netherlander West Indies, are a collection of Caribbean islands which are part of the Union of New Netherland — which include the two Caribbean states of Curazao and Statia. The islands were acquired by New Netherland during the later decades of the 19th Century, and governed as territories up until the 1950s. Since the admission of the Territory of Curazao, the word has become an umbrella term for the non-continental states of New Netherland.
