Mennonites from Shipyard needed more land for farming, so they began a new colony in the Corozal District in 1979.
In 2006 a documentary of Mennonites in Belize was filmed with interviews of residents in Spanish Lookout, Lower Barton Creek, Blue Creek, Shipyard and Little Belize.[1]
The land currently known as LIttle Belize was owned by Jane Hume in 1963. [2]
