Christiansted National Historic Site: For their first settlement the Danes chose a good harbor on the northeast coast, the site of an earlier French village named Bassin. Their leader Frederick Moth was a man of vision. He planned a new town – named Christiansted in honor of reigning King Christian VI – and had the island surveyed into plantations of 150 acres, priced to attract new settlers.
