Derived from an ancient Greek word for "freedom", the name Eleuthera
was given to the island by a small band of European settlers who
landed on its beaches in 1648, fleeing religious persecution in
Bermuda.
A
set of four closely related islands, the Eleutheran group's most
prominent member is the long, thin island of Eleuthera itself, over
a hundred miles long but less than two miles wide.
The
most populous of the Out Islands, Eleuthera has ten thousand
residents scattered in a dozen fishing villages spread along its
coastline, though not much goes on, outside of some ocean activities
and laid-back solitude.
