Treasure cay history - learn what once happend
The area was established in 1783, when 1,400 American Loyalists from the New York state region fled the Revolution and settled first in Treasure Cay at Carleton Point. From there, some moved on to nearby islands of New Plymouth, Green Turtle Cay, Hopetown, Man-O-War or settled south in Marsh Harbour. Early attempts at cotton farming failed, resulting in a population reduction to around 400 settlers. These pioneers developed the economy of the island with an expertise in wooden boatbuilding, a tradition that has been passed down to present day. Treasure Cay began as a resort destination when developed by Captain Leonard Thompson, a former Royal Air Force pilot from nearby Marsh Harbour. In 1962, Mr. Thompson and Americas largest Chevrolet dealer at the time, Dumas Milner, joined forces in creating the community of Treasure Cay. The partnership also resulted in the formation of seven miles of canal systems throughout the mangroves. This unspoiled scenic area inspired the creation of a hotel, condo projects and private home developments, a practice that continues today. This seaside community has grown to a population of 2,000 with 1,100 private homes of both full and part time residents, a multi-cultural mix comprised mostly of Bahamians, Americans, Europeans and Canadians. To preserve the everlasting, unspoiled splendor of the area, much care and consideration is given in developing future projects. The natural beauty and pristine waters are major attractions to living in or visiting Treasure Cay. Treasure Cay Beach is the most sparkling natural feature on the island of Abaco. Breathtaking is the only word for this world-renowned beach; a 3.5-mile stretch of powdery white sand, matched only in brilliance by the turquoise water caressing its shore. There are no pictures that can prepare a visitor for the awesome site of this beachits size, its white powdery sand and those beautiful blue waters. With all that and no crowds, there's plenty of room to create your own private paradise
