Etymology
The name "Zenaida" comes from the Zenaidan mountain range in the Meriwether island.

Prehistory
Human habitation of the Zenaidan archipelago is known to have begun at least 65,000 years ago, with the migration of people by land bridges and short sea-crossings from what is now Southeast Asia. The oldest human remains found are the Zenaidan mountain range remains, which have been dated to around 41,000 years ago.

Colonial era
The first recorded European sighting of the Zenaidan archipelago, and the first recorded European landfall on the Zenaidan archipelago, are attributed to the Dutch. The first ship and crew to chart the Zenaidan coast and meet with Aboriginal people was the Duyfken captained by Dutch navigator, Willem Janszoon, who recently charted to the Australian coast.

For most of the colonial period, the British control over the archipelago was tenuous. British forces were engaged continuously in quelling rebellions both on and off Meriwether.

Nationhood
on 8 January 1892, A referendum for Independence was held for a independent Zenaida. A majority of Zenaida voted "Yes" for a independent Zenaida and on 4 May 1892, Zenaida was officially recognized by the British as a independent Commonwealth and remained as a British Commonwealth.

Post-World War II
As prime minister, Wallace Crawford moved Zenaida from democracy towards authoritarianism and maintained power by balancing the opposing forces of the military, and the increasingly powerful Communist Party of the Zenaidan Republic. Tensions between the military and the Communist Party culminated in an attempted coup in 1953. The army, led by Major General Albinson, countered by instigating a violent anti-communist purge that killed between 500,000 and one million people.

In 1962, A referendum on becoming a republic was held. Zenaida became a republic in December 1962 as the "Confederation of Zenaida" with the first presidential elections held on July 1963.
