-
A governor had been selected from among the British settlers in the Bahamas before 1670, a move confirmed by the Lords Proprietors of Carolina who were granted control of the islands in that year. The islands became a Crown Colony in 1717, when a Governor was first appointed from London. The Bahamas were lost to British control between 1776 and 1783, after which time control from London was reasserted. The Governor continued to represent the UK in the Bahamas until independence was granted in 1973.
