It is located in the "Abaco Out Islands" and is 3 miles (4.8 km) long
and 1/2 mile wide. It was named after the abundance of green turtles
that inhabited the area. The population of the island is about 450 and
its main settlement is New Plymouth which was founded in the 18th
century. The architecture of the older homes in the village is unique in
the Bahamas, with steep-pitched roofs, originating with settlers from
New England
