New Providence Island, site of the capital city of Nassau, has an area of 215 sq km. The second largest city, Freeport, is on Grand Bahama Island, which has an area of 1,370 sq. km. It is less than 60 km from Miami. The three largest islands in the chain are Andros, 6,000 sq. km; Abaco, 1,685 sq. km and Inaguas, 1,554 sq. km.
The population of the Bahamas is approximately 340,000 the majority of whom are black and inhabit 20 of The Islands of The Bahamas. Most of the population live on the Island of New Providence and Grand Bahama Island. Many of the Islands are uninhabited due to the lack of fresh water.
The Bahamas was initially settled in around 1640 by the Eleutherian Adventurers, a group of Englishmen who sailed from Bermuda. The Bahamas has had a representative form of Government since the 17th century. In July 1973, the Bahamas achieved its goal of becoming an independent country within the British Commonwealth. A Governor General appointed by the British Government is responsible for defence, external affairs and internal security.
