The Cayman
Islands are a British Overseas Territory in the western Caribbean Sea. The
territory comprises the three islands of Grand Cayman, Cayman Brac and
Little Cayman, located south of Cuba and northwest of Jamaica. The Cayman
Islands are considered to be part of the geographic Western Caribbean Zone
as well as the Greater Antilles. The territory is a major world offshore
financial centre.
The Cayman Islands remained largely uninhabited until the 17th century.
While there is no archaeological evidence for an indigenous people on the
islands, a variety of settlers from various backgrounds made their home on
the islands, including pirates, refugees from the Spanish Inquisition,
shipwrecked sailors, and deserters from Oliver Cromwell's army in Jamaica.
The first recorded permanent inhabitant of the Cayman Islands, Isaac Bodden,
was born on Grand Cayman around 1661. He was the grandson of the original
settler named Bodden who was probably one of Oliver Cromwell's soldiers at
the taking of Jamaica in 1655.
England took formal control of the Cayman Islands, along with Jamaica, as a
result of the Treaty of Madrid of 1670. Following several unsuccessful
attempts at settlement, a permanent English-speaking population in the
islands dates from the 1730s. With settlement, after the first royal land
grant by the Governor of Jamaica in 1734, came the perceived need for
slaves. Many were brought to the islands from Africa; this is evident today
with the majority of native Caymanians being of African and English descent.
The results of the first census taken in the islands in 1802 showed the
population on Grand Cayman to be 933 with 545 of those inhabitants being
slaves. Slavery was abolished in the Cayman Islands in 1833. At the time of
abolition, there were over 950 black slaves of African ancestry owned by 116
white families of English ancestry. The islands continued to be governed as
part of the Colony of Jamaica until 1962, when they became a separate Crown
colony while Jamaica became an independent Commonwealth realm. The Cayman
Islands historically have been a tax-exempt destination. The defence of the
Cayman Islands is the responsibility of the United Kingdom. Law enforcement
in the country is provided chiefly by the Royal Cayman Islands Police
Service and the Cayman Islands Customs Department. These two agencies
co-operate in aspects of law enforcement, including their joint marine unit.
The Cayman Islands Cadet Corps was formed in March 2001 and carries out
military-type training with teenage citizens of the country. They are known
for fine shipbuilding, excellent sailors, and numerous discreetly numbered
financial accounts.
Capital and largest city:
George Town. Motto:
"He hath founded it upon the seas". National
song: "Beloved Isle Cayman". |

| The Cayman
Islands are in the western Caribbean Sea and are the peaks of a massive
underwater ridge, known as the Cayman Ridge (or Cayman Rise). This ridge
flanks the Cayman Trough, 6,000 m (20,000 ft) deep which lies 6 km (3.7 mi)
to the south. The islands lie in the northwest of the Caribbean Sea, east of
Quintana Roo, Mexico and the Yucatan Mexico, south of Cuba and west of
Jamaica. They are situated about 700 km (430 mi) south of Miami, 750 km (470
mi) east of Mexico, 366 km (227 mi) south of Cuba, and about 500 km (310 mi)
northwest of Jamaica. Grand Cayman is by far the biggest, with an area of
197 km2 (76 sq mi). Grand Cayman's two "Sister Islands", Cayman Brac and
Little Cayman, are about 120 km (75 mi) east north-east of Grand Cayman and
have areas of 38 and 28.5 km2 (14.7 and 11.0 sq mi) respectively. All three
islands were formed by large coral heads covering submerged ice age peaks of
western extensions of the Cuban Sierra Maestra range and are mostly flat.
One notable exception to this is The Bluff on Cayman Brac's eastern part,
which rises to 43 m (141 ft) above sea level, the highest point on the
islands. Terrain is mostly a low-lying limestone base surrounded by coral
reefs. |

Currency:
Cayman Islands dollar (KYD) = 100 cents.
The Cayman Islands dollar was introduced on 01st May
1972, replacing the Jamaican dollar at par used since 1900. Jamaican currency and Cayman
Islands then remained both legal tender until 01st August 1972 when Jamaican
currency ceased to be legal tender. The Cayman Islands dollar has been
pegged to the United States dollar at 1 Cayman Islands Dollar = 1.2 U.S.
Dollars since 01 April 1974 when the Currency Law of 1974 was enacted. On the
islands, the US dollar is accepted as legal currency by hotels, restaurants,
and retail establishments at the rate of 1 US Dollar for every 80 Cayman
cents.
In 1972, coins in denominations of 1¢, 5¢, 10¢ and 25¢ were introduced. The
1¢ was struck in bronze, with the other denominations in cupronickel. From
1992, copper and nickel-plated steel replaced bronze and cupronickel,
respectively. |
