New Providence, Caribbean island in Nassau, Bahamas.
The rectangular shaped island stretches 34 kilometers in length and 11 kilometers in width, with numerous salt lakes across its flat terrain.
British settlers established permanent residence on the island in 1666, later facing frequent conflicts with pirates who used it as their base.
The island houses more than 400 international banks and financial institutions, forming the central business district of the Bahamas.
New Providence contains 24 administrative districts and operates directly under national government control without local administrative bodies.
The indigenous Lucayan people named this land Nema, referring to its position between surrounding waters.
