century (1513).Mascareigne Island wasnt really exploited until 1642, by the Frenchcompany founded by Richelieu.
A French stop on the route to India, the island became Bourbon in 1649.In the eighteenth century they started cultivation of coffee (encouragedby G overnor Mah De La Bourdonnais) and food crops and thecultivation of spices. Slaves imported from Africa provided work.It was called Reunion Island during the French Revolution.
In 1841, a young slave, Albius, 12 years old, discovered a simple process of artificial fertilization of the vanilla flowers.
Slavery was finally abolished December 20, 1848.

O rigins of the population
In the early days of the colony, the majority of settlers came from westernand northern France. The proportion of whites changed dramatically over time. They were more numerous than blacks until 1715. The economicdevelopment of the island would then lead the black population tobecome a very large majority.The Malagasy first arrived Reunion Island at the beginning of
colonization. The group of Malagasy slaves remained the largestthroughout the period of the Company. Subsequently, the importance of immigration Madagascar decreased. In 1826, over 62,600 blacks, therewere still 14,500 Malagasy
The Indian immigration did not begin at the abolition of slavery. The firstprisoners were unloaded in 1672. In 1704, the Indians were 45 on theisland. In 1848, the Indians formed the bulk of the hired workers importedfor workforce and are mostly free cultivators. After the abolition of slavery, Indian immigration was high.
