Anguilla seceded from Saint Kitts and Nevis and became a British Crown colony in December 1980. Before then, the Attorney General was identified as representing "St. Christopher [Kitts], Nevis and Anguilla." Even by the time Anguilla passed a new constitution in 1982, certain records still showed the same title for the Attorney General.
