Discover the Traditional Bread from Nassau, Bahamas
About the city of Nassau
Nassau, the capital of the Bahamas, is located on New Providence, the 11th largest island in the 700-island chain. Following Christopher Columbus’ arrival in 1492, the Bahamas became a Spanish colony, but in 1629, English King Charles I claimed the islands, which remained under British rule until independence in 1973. Originally inhabited by the Lucayans, New Providence saw European and African settlers from 1666 onward and officially became a city in 1861. As of 2016, about 70% of the country’s population of 400,000 resides in New Providence, primarily descendants of Africans, British colonials, and American loyalists. Nassau is now a cosmopolitan city with diverse global ancestry. The economy is heavily reliant on tourism and financial services, with tourism contributing around 45% of the GDP and over 60% of employment, mostly from North American visitors.
