History
Groot Piscadera was a plantation from the late 17th century, and was owned by
Julianadorp
Royal Dutch Shell started to bring large numbers workers, teachers, civil servants and businessmen to Curaçao to work at their oil refinery or provide services for the employees.[6] In October 1929, 40 houses were constructed in Groot Piscadera.[7]
Between 1945 until 1955,
Julianadorp consisted of luxurious villas aligned along the trade winds for ventilation.[8] It was a segregated and gated community where blacks and coloureds were only allowed entry with a special pass.[9] In the 1960s, Shell started selling the houses, and by 1985, all houses had become private property.[7] Julianadorp is no longer gated, and has been integrated in Groot Piscadera.[10]
