Long Island's population is about 3,000 inhabitants. It is the leading stock-rearing island in The Bahamas and its farmers also raise corn, peas, bananas, pineapples and other crops.
Originally called by the Arawak name 'Yuma,' Long Island was rechristened 'Fernandina' by Christopher Columbus on his first voyage to the New World in 1492.
Numerous Loyalist families settled on Long Island, some setting up cotton plantations and others raising cattle and sheep. The plantations flourished for only a few years and, by the time of the abolition of slavery in 1834, most of them had collapsed and been abandoned. There are many ruins from this era today, the majority of which are overgrown by bush. There are also remains of some of the houses built after slavery, which are usually small and built of stone.
Although Long Island is 80 miles long, it is very narrow?no more than four miles at its widest point. The island is divided by the Tropic of Cancer and bordered by two very different coasts, one with rocky cliffs and caves that dip suddenly into the sea and the other with broad beaches. There is also a blue hole very close to the beach here that attract divers and snorkellers alike.
