HISTORY
The word "eleuthera" comes from the Greek word eleutheros or FREEDOM. The Lucayan indians settled the island
and tagged the name "Cigatoo". In 1648 the Eleutheran Adventurers who fled from Bermuda were dropped off @
the northend of the island aptly named, "Preacher's Cave." Actually, the islands shallow (and sharp) coral reef
found the bottom of their ships.
Throughout the 18th century, the harvest of the island was dominated by the pineapple and eleutheran sugar
loaf, a delictible fruit. Unfortunately, the pineapple harvest was very labor intensive and soon gave way to cattle
farming and chicken industries. These industries failed as the island was gearing up for tourism. At the onset of
independence, the government bought out the farmers and shortly there after, the industry perished. Since the
independence of Eleuthera, the remaining settlements off the mainland, Harbour Town and Spanish Wells.
