Located in the region of Vallos known as [[Vallos#Capelranco Archipelago|Capelranco]], Vespera has been inhabited since at least 850 BC; however, the earliest surviving written records come from the Kingdom of [[Oustec]] during the 16th to 19th centuries, of which Vespera was part of. Vespera's history is marked by waves of colonization, cultural fusion, and economic transformation. Originally inhabited by the indigenous Mustrida people, the island was later settled by the [[Burgoignesc Colonial Empire]], and later Caphiria. Over the centuries, Vespera developed a unique cultural identity, blending indigenous traditions with Latin influences. In the early modern period, Vespera became a strategic naval base for Caphiria, which led to the construction of several military fortifications. Despite its military significance, the island's economy remained largely agricultural, with sugar cane, coffee, and tropical fruits as its primary exports.
