The island of Curaçao is located off the Venezuelan coast in the southern Caribbean Sea and belongs to the Leeward Islands. The Dutch colony of Curaçao and Dependencies (which, in addition to Curaçao, also included the islands of Aruba, Bonaire, Sint Maarten, Sint Eustatius and Saba) issued stamps from 1873. In 1922 the colony became a Dutch territory, although it was not until 1936 that the official name changed to Curaçao territory. In 1948 the name of the territory was changed to the Netherlands Antilles.

In 2010, the Netherlands Antilles were officially dissolved: the island of Curaçao became an autonomous country within the Kingdom of the Netherlands, just like Sint Maarten and earlier Aruba. From then on, the different countries (and under the name of the Caribbean Netherlands also the remaining islands of Bonaire, Saba and St. Eustatius) each issue their own stamps.
