What area was settled by slaves?

• A. Cable Beach
• B. Fox Hill
• C. Grants Town
• D. Nassau

Answer: (C)

Grants Town is the historic Black Bahamian community in Nassau that grew when enslaved people and, later, freed individuals settled there, creating a distinct neighborhood with homes, churches, and farms. After emancipation, many freed slaves sought land near the city, and Grants Town became one of the main areas where they established their own community. The area reflects how enslaved people built new lives by forming settlements close to Nassau. The other locations don’t share this specific settlement history: Cable Beach is a modern resort area, Fox Hill is a different local neighborhood with its own background, and Nassau refers to the capital city as a whole rather than a single slave-founded settlement.
