Crooked Island, Island and district in The Bahamas.
Crooked Island is an island and district in The Bahamas, situated within an atoll formation in the Bight of Acklins. The landmass stretches across the landscape with flat coastal areas and shallow surrounding waters.
The island was originally known as Samoete by earlier inhabitants, then renamed Isabella by Spanish explorers. British settlers later established agricultural operations that shaped the early development of settlement.
Life here centers on fishing and small-scale farming, reflecting how residents have sustained themselves for generations.
Colonel Hill serves as the main settlement and has an airport providing connections to other islands. Getting around the island is easiest by exploring coastal areas and local routes on foot or by rental vehicle.
Pitts Town holds the distinction of being home to the first postal station established in The Bahamas, marking an early milestone.
