The Spanish explorer, Alvaro de Mendana de Neira first sighted the islands in 1758. He found signs of alluvial gold, and believed that he had found the source of King Solomon's wealth, naming the islands accordingly. The continuing slave trade in the Solomon Islands prompted the UK to declare a protectorate over the region in 1893.
The islands achieved full independence in 1978 and are mainly supported by a subsistence economy. The state derives much of its income from exporting primary goods, such as timber, palm oil, fish, copra, and gold.
