About St. Kitts
St. Kitts is located in the mid-Leeward Islands 50 miles S.S.E. of St. Martin and 200 miles S.E. of Puerto Rico. The 41,000 inhabitants on the 68 square mile island enjoy an average yearly temperature of 83 with a constant easterly breeze. After years of French then English rule, St.Kitts, with her smaller sister island of Nevis, became a British Territory in 1783. Independent since 1983 in conjunction with Nevis, the Federation is a member of the British Commonwealth and the United Nations. The new nation is a stable Parliamentary Democracy and it's government has shown considerable wisdom in policy and cooperation with foreign sources of capital investment and development. |
