 Here, the roots of modern Bahamian history were planted by the "Eleutheran Adventurers," who established what was probably the first true democracy in the western world more than 300 years ago. Much of the early colonial atmosphere is preserved in the tiny fishing villages and sprawling farming areas. The island is 110 miles long and only two miles wide along most of its length. Just offshore are Harbor Island (renowned for its pink-sand beaches) and Spanish Wells (where pirates and others found fresh water). Population: 10,524.
