Crooked Island, Island and district in The Bahamas.
Crooked Island extends for 37 kilometers in length and 14 kilometers in width, forming part of an atoll around the Bight of Acklins.
The island received multiple names throughout history: the Arawaks called it Samoete, Spanish explorers named it Isabella, and British colonists established cotton plantations in 1780.
The population of 330 residents maintains traditional activities such as small-scale farming and fishing in the surrounding waters of the Caribbean Sea.
Colonel Hill serves as the main settlement of the island, featuring an airport that connects visitors to other destinations in The Bahamas.
The island contains the first postal office established in The Bahamas, located in the settlement of Pitts Town.
