Saint Kitts and Nevis

St. Kitts and Nevis located in the Leeward Islands, is a federal two-island nation in the West Indies. It is the smallest sovereign state in the America, in both area and population. The capital city and headquarters of government for the federated state is Basseterre on the larger island of Saint Kitts. The smaller state of Nevis lies about 3 km southeast of Saint Kitts, across a shallow channel called "The Narrows".

Historically, the British dependency of Anguilla was also a part of this union, which was then known collectively as Saint Christopher-Nevis-Anguilla. Saint Kitts and Nevis are geographically part of the Leeward Islands.

Saint Kitts and Nevis were among the first islands in the Caribbean to be settled by Europeans. Saint Kitts was home to the first British and French colonies in the Caribbean.

Thanks a lot to my dear friend Tehena for making my day with beautiful postcard of her island! :)
