Nassau has a rich history of people dating back to the 1600s. Some of those early settlers were pilgrims looking for good farm land. Later, Loyalists left America because of opposition to the independence of the U.S., and came to Nassau. Along with them came plantation owners who settled New Providence, along with their slaves. In the 1800's even more of African descent settled this island because they were freed by the British Navy from the slave ships. There are also an interesting mingling of influences from China, Greece, Lebanon, and the West Indies due to a need for labour on the island. In the 1950's many Haitians also migrated to the island because of economic troubles and unrest. The people with their rich heritage are very friendly and welcoming. Your experience will be rewarding to say the least!
