In the early days, Rhun are considered to have great economic importance because of the spices nutmeg obtained from the nutmeg tree (Myristica fragans) and is only found in the Banda Islands. Throughout the history of the spice trade, the second expedition voyagers British East India Company that James Lancaster, John Davis and John Middleton who settled in Banten, Java first reached the island in 1603 and build rapport with the locals

On December 25, 1616, Captain Nathaniel Courthope reached Run to defend it from VOC claims.
