Nassau
Nassau is the capital, largest city, and commercial centre of the Common wealth of the Bahamas. Lynden Pindling International Airport, the major airport for the Bahamas, is located about 16 km (9.9 mi) west of Nassau city centre, and has daily flights to major cities in the US, the Caribbean, Canada and the UK. The city is located on the island of New Providence, which functions much like a business district. Nassau's modern growth began in the late eighteenth century, with the influx of thousands of American Revolutionary War. Many of them settled in Nassau and eventually came to outnumber the original inhabitants.
