The party was founded in 1985 with the name of
Federation of Canarian Independent Groups (), consisting of the union of different parties and groupings of insular scope, coming mostly from the former
Union of the Democratic Centre (UCD). On 23 April 1986 they changed their name to Canarian Independent Groups. In 1987 it was joined by the
Canarian Union of the Centre. The members of AIC were mainly centre-right and insularist political groups. In 1993, together with the
Nationalist Canarian Initiative (ICAN),
Majorera Assembly (AM),
Canarian Nationalist Party (PNC) and
Independent Canarian Centre (CCI) it formed
Canarian Coalition (CC). However, in 1994, Independents of Fuerteventura (IF) and Lanzarote Independents Group (transformed into the
Lanzarote Independents Party (PIL)) abandon both Canarian Independent Groups and Canarian Coalition. It obtained parliamentary representation in the
general elections of 1986 and in the
ones of 1989. It was dissolved definitively during the Canarian Coalition Congress celebrated in 18–19 May 2005, in which all the integral parties disappeared and CC became unique party. ==Members==
