Nichollstown and Berry Islands was a district of the Bahamas.
It consisted of the northern portion of the island of Andros, a population (2000) of 3,444, together with the nearby Berry Islands (population 809).
Since 1996 the Berry Islands have been constituted as a separate district, and with the Nicholls Town area now the district of North Andros.
Famous quotes containing the words berry and/or islands:
“A grandchild is a miracle, but a renewed relationship with your own children is even a greater one.”
—T. Berry Brazelton (20th century)
“Consider the islands bearing the names of all the saints, bristling with forts like chestnut-burs, or Echinidæ, yet the police will not let a couple of Irishmen have a private sparring- match on one of them, as it is a government monopoly; all the great seaports are in a boxing attitude, and you must sail prudently between two tiers of stony knuckles before you come to feel the warmth of their breasts.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
