Freeport is a 230-square-mile (600 km 2) free trade zone on Grand Bahama Island, established in 1955 by the government of The Bahamas. The city of Freeport emerged from a land grant comprising 50,000 acres (200 km 2) of swamp and scrub to become a cosmopolitan centre.
The main tourist centers are New Providence (Nassau and Paradise Island) and Grand Bahama Island (Freeport), both of which have several luxury hotels and casinos. Not coincidentally, about 75% of the 250,000 Bahamas population lives on these two islands (145,000 on New Providence and 50,000 on Grand Bahama).
