Description

Islas de la Bahia / Bay Islands

Wiki[link]

Claimed by Britain in 1841 and made a colony subordinate to Jamaica in 1852, it was ceded to Honduras in 1860.
Now, it is one of the 18 departments of Honduras with the area of 261 sq km and a population of over 43.000.

It is located in the Caribbean off the north coast of Honduras.
The islands are inhabited by the mixture of Caribbean peoples.

The ancestry of Utila population can be traced to the English settlers from Caryman Islands, while Roatan's
people are predominantly derived from black slave (Garifuna) stock.
