HISTORY
THE BAHAMAS were first populated by the Lucayan Indians, a people whose culture and influence is still felt today. When Columbus made landfall in the New World in 1492, he actually discovered Hispaniola. Soon explorers and settlers found the islands of The Bahamas as well. They became a British Crown Colony in 1718 and remained under British rule until 1973. Since then, the country has existed as a British Commonwealth with close ties to the United States. New Providence Island, home to the capital city of Nassau and Baha Mar, is the most developed of the 29 principal Bahamian islands. People from around the world travel to The Bahamas each year to enjoy the beautiful beaches and vibrant culture.

CULTURE The diverse history of The Bahamas has created a culture rich with Colonial, European, Caribbean and African influences. All of these converge in the famous Junkanoo, an energetic parade featuring locals dancing in brightly colored costumes while playing cowbells and drums. The Junkanoo highlights the friendly, family-oriented and generous nature of Bahamians, who’ve designated the flamingo as their national bird and the yellow elder as the country’s flower.
GOVERNMENT The Bahamas is a sovereign, independent nation. Its government operates as a stable parliamentary democracy with two main parties.
CURRENCY The country’s currency is stable. The Bahamian dollar (B$) is used interchangeably with the U.S. dollar at a fixed 1:1 exchange rate.
POPULATION There are approximately 350,000 people residing in The Bahamas throughout all 700 islands. Approximately 250,000 live in New Providence and Paradise Island, while the remaining 100,000 are scattered throughout the outer islands.
