Nevis, Caribbean island in Saint Kitts and Nevis.
The circular island spans 36 square miles with Nevis Peak rising 3,232 feet above the Caribbean Sea as its central geographic feature.
The island shifted from Spanish control to British colonization in the 1620s, becoming a major sugar production center through established plantations and African labor.
Local residents celebrate Culturama each year with traditional music performances, featuring calypso rhythms, dance exhibitions, and presentations of Caribbean heritage.
Visitors reach the island through Vance Amory International Airport or regular ferry services from Saint Kitts across The Narrows channel.
Alexander Hamilton, one of the United States founding fathers, was born on this island in the late eighteenth century.
