The Bahamas was one of the few areas in the region in which the Arawak people were not displaced by the more warlike Caribs. When, in 1492, Christopher Columbus made his first landing in the New World in The Bahamas, the people who met him were Arawaks who, he wrote, ‘have opened their hearts.
In 1492, Christopher Columbus made landfall in the New World on the island of San Salvador. Inspired by the surrounding shallow sea, he described them as islands of the "Baja mar" (shallow sea), which has become The Islands Of The Bahamas. When he arrived, there were about 40,000 Lucayans. Their peaceful nature made the Lucayans easy targets for enslavement, however, and within 25 years, all of the Lucayans were wiped out due to the diseases, hardships and slavery they endured.
The population took off in the late eighteenth century with the entry from America of Loyalist families and their slaves after the American Revolution. In 1783-84 the population was 4,058; by 1789, it was more than 11,000, with the white pilgrims creating a critical minority.
In 1964, a constitution set up a pastoral arrangement of government, and the lawmaking body was improved to reflect majority interests. After the consequent general election in 1967, the United Bahamian Party was constrained into resistance in its history.
The colours embodied in the design of the Bahamian flag symbolise the image and aspirations of the people of The Bahamas; the design reflects aspects of the natural environment (the sun, sand, and sea) and the economic and social development. The flag is a black equilateral triangle against the mast, superimposed on a horizontal background made up of two colours on three equal stripes of aquamarine, gold and aquamarine.
The symbolism of the banner is the following: Black reflects the power, the triangle directing towards the body of the banner reflects the endeavor and determination of The Bahamian individuals toward creation and possession of the rich resources of sun and ocean symbolized by gold. For the special events the Flag Company Inc invented beautiful decals and flags for the history support.
