First Settlements
Baden Islands was split in 1976 by a joint United Nations decision into two halves, West Baden and East Baden. West Baden's land was issued in the name of Kenneth Starks, West Baden's founder. In 1977, Starks would make his first settlement on West Baden Islands, on what is now known as Fairview, BD. After the discovery of offshore oil, Kenny would issue a business deal with Guanchez Santos of Puerto Rico to start a offshore oil drilling plant north of present day Jacksonville Parish.
