New Providence is the most populous island of The Bahamas. Nassau, the capital city of the commonwealth, is located on the island.
History
The island was first settled by English Puritans who had fled from Bermuda for religious reasons.[1] They founded the city of Charles-Towne, which was later renamed Nassau in 1696 in honor of King William III from the House of Orange-Nassau.[2]
During the War of the Spanish Succession, New Providence was attacked and destroyed by French and Spanish troops, leaving it abandoned by the British Empire by 1706.[3] In the aftermath, the island and Nassau became a haven for pirates who had previously served as privateers in the Royal Navy, and was declared a republic.[4]
