NASSAU , THE BAHAMAS

Nassau is the capital city of the Bahamas , an archipelago of over 700 islands that stretch from 50 miles southeast of Florida . Nassau is located on New Providence Island and is the largest city in the Bahamas .

In 1492 , Christopher Columbus made his first landfall¹ on another 5 Bahamian island , San Salvador , and is credited with discovering Nassau that same year . Most of the indigenous people died from contact with the Spanish , who deported and enslaved² the natives . Later the indigenous population was replaced by enslaved people brought from West and Central Africa .

In 1656 , the first European settlement³ was established in Nassau by a group of English settlers who named the site Charles Towne . In 1666 , Charles Towne became the capital city of the colony . In 1694 , the city was attacked and destroyed by Spain for harboring pirates and was rebuilt a year later and renamed Nassau .

After 1776 , many people including black slaves emigrated from the United States to the Bahamas . Slavery was outlawed in the Bahamas in 1834 . The Bahamas became independent from the United Kingdom in 1973 but remains connected to the UK through the Commonwealth . Today , Nassau is world famous as a tourist destination , known for its beaches and tropical 20 vegetation .
