The islands were part of the UK's Jamaican colony until 1962, when they assumed
the status of a separate crown colony upon Jamaica's independence. The governor
of The Bahamas oversaw affairs from 1965 to 1973. With Bahamian independence,
the islands received a separate governor in 1973. Although independence was
agreed upon for 1982, the policy was reversed and the islands remain a British
overseas territory. |
