These three islands were acquired by Spain from Portugal in 1778. They had their own stamps from 1903 until 1909. Between 1909 and 1960, they joined with Fernando Po and Spanish Guinea to form the Spanish Territories of the Gulf of Guinea, known as Spanish Guinea from 1949. In 1959, Fernando Po, Elobey and & Corisco became part of what Gibbons [1] refers to as "the similar province of Rio Muni". Annobon later joined them all in Equatorial Guinea.
