In ancient geography, a division of Asia Minor, lying between Lydia on the north, Phrygia and Lycia on the east, and the Ægean Sea on the south and west. The Meander, a noted river, flows through it. Its chief towns were Miletus, Halicarna us, and Cnidus. The early inhabitants were Hamitic, and the Greeks formed colonies on the coasts. Its princes became tributary to Persia. Caria was anciently the whole country from Caunus on the south to the mouth of the Meander on the west coast. It extended inland at least as far as Carura, near the junction of the Lycus with the Mæander. The chain of Cadmus (Baba Dagh) formed, apparently, its eastern boundary. In proce of time the greater part of the coast was occupied by the Greeks. The peninsula of Cnidus, with the tract above it known as the By ba i an Chersonese, was colonised by Dorians, as was the southern shore of the Ceramic Gulf, from Myndus to Ceramus. More to the north the coast was seized upon by the Ionian Greeks, who seem to have po e ed themselves of the entire seaboard from the Hermus to the furthest rece of the Sinus Ia ius. Still the Carians retained some portions of the coast, and were able to furnish to the navy of Xerxes a fleet of seventy ships. Rawlinson, Herod., I. 383. Cariaco (kä-re-ä'kō).

There was little tribal union, and the authority of the chiefs was nominal. At the time of the conquest they practised agriculture. Columbus first encountered these Indians at Guadeloupe, and had a battle with them at Santa Cruz (1493). The Spanish courts condemned them to slavery, but they were little molested, probably because they could not be forced to work. The French and English occupations of the Caribbee islands led to long wars with these Indians: their last stronghold was in St. Vincent, where some of them became mixed with fugitive negro slaves, giving rise to the race called "black Caribs." After a bloody war with the English, the surviving Caribs, to the number of 5,000, were transported from St. Vincent, to the island of Ruatan, near the coast of Honduras (1796). Thence they pa ed over to Honduras and Nicaragua, where their descendants, mostly "black Caribs," now live. A few were allowed to return to St. Vincent where they have a reservation, and there are a few more in other islands. Some you sands remain in a semi-wild state in Guiana and Venezuela. In French Guiana they are called Galibis. The name Carib was applied by the Spaniards to any Indians whom they regarded as cannibals or very savage.
