mayaguana

Mayaguana is the most easterly island and district of the Bahamas, and one of only two which retain their Arawak names. The largest settlement is Abrahams Bay on the south coast, other settlements are Betsy Bay in the east and Pirates Well in the north. Mayaguana has never seen major development, being only settled gradually after 1812 by people from the Turks and Caicos Islands. The population of Mayaguana in the 2000 census was 259. The Brazilian historian Antonio Varnhagen suggested in 1824 that Mayaguana is Guanahani. The first island visited by Christopher Columbus at his discovery of the Americas. His theory has found little support.
