Ragged Island, Remote island and district in The Bahamas
Ragged Island extends over 23 square kilometers within the Jumentos Cays chain, featuring Duncan Town as its main settlement along a shallow water bay.
During the 18th century, William George Lockhart received ownership of the island, which indigenous Lucayan people previously called Utiaquia, meaning western hutia land.
The population of Duncan Town maintains traditional Bahamian customs through local fishing practices, community gatherings, and maritime-influenced daily activities.
Access to Ragged Island requires careful planning, as transportation options include mail boat services and small aircraft landing at Duncan Town Airport.
The island implemented a solar farm project in 2019 designed to supply 90 percent of its energy needs through renewable sources.
