The Bahamas were discovered by Christopher Columbus in 1492 when he landed on San Salvador Island, believed by scholars to be his first landing in the Western Hemisphere. The islands were found to be inhabited by aboriginal peoples known as Lucayans. The Spanish never did occupy these islands. Instead, they were occupied by native Englishmen from Bermuda, and in 1648 the first British settlement was established on Eleuthera. Later they were also settled by the French, Dutch and Spanish sea merchants. From 1670 to 1838 the British fortified New Providence, making it the seat of government, and in 1717 it became a British Crown Colony. After the Revolutionary War in 1776-83, thousands of loyalists and their slaves from the mainland settled in the Bahamas. In 1964 the islands were granted internal self-government, and the first elections were held in 1967. The Bahamas became an independent nation within the British Commonwealth in 1973. W. L.
