Saint Kitts became home to the first Caribbean British and French colonies in the mid-1620s. Along with the island of Nevis, Saint Kitts was a member of the British West Indies until gaining independence on 19 September 1983.
The capital of the two-island nation, and also its largest port, is the town of Basseterre on Saint Kitts. There is a modern facility for handling large cruise ships there. A ring road goes around the perimeter of the island with smaller roads branching off it; the interior of the island is too steep for habitation.
Tourism is a major and growing source of income to the island, although the number and density of resorts is less than on many other Caribbean islands.
We had the chance to visit the island in 2015. Our photos are from Basseterre the capital of St. Kitts and the coordinates are from Independence Square.
