HISTORY
GOVERNORS HARBOUR is located @ the center of the island of Eleuthera, Bahamas. Governors was the first
permanent European Settlement, established by William Sayles ( a former Governor of Bermuda) and religious
freedom-seeking adventurers (a.k.a. Eleutherans) arrived. Sayles set sail in 1647 to establish new lands to the
south. Several weeks after embarking from Bermuda towards the warmer climes in the south, Sayles ship-wrecked
on the reefs of the northern end of the island, near the area now known as Preachers Cave. It was here that the
thankful survivors named their island Eleuthera, the Greek word for freedom. Eventually, Sayles' followers made it
around the island to a quiet harbour on the Caribbean coast and set up the first new world republic on Cupids Cay
in 1648. As with many new ventures, however, arguments arose about basic survival needs and many left. Some
went back to Bermuda to beg forgiveness of the King and resume their lives. Others followed Sayles to New
Providence and set up the first Bahamian Capital at Nassau.
