The Cocos (Keeling) Islands, located in the Indian Ocean, have a deep-rooted history marked by the influence of various cultures, including the early Malay seafarers who played a crucial role in coconut cultivation and the development of the islands' economy. Initially uninhabited, the islands were settled in 1826 by Scottish sea captain Alexander Hare and later came under the control of the Clunies-Ross family, who established a plantation economy that thrived for many years.
