Grand Bahama is the northernmost of the islands of the Bahamas, and the closest major island to the United States, lying 86 km off of Palm Beach, Florida.
 It is the fourth largest island in the Bahamas island chain of approximately 700 islands and 2,400 cays.
 The island is approximately 153 km long west to east and 24 km at its widest point north to south.
 Administratively, the island consists of the Freeport Bonded Area and the districts of East Grand Bahama and West Grand Bahama.
West Grand Bahama is one of 31 districts of The Bahamas.
 The district covers the entire western portion of Grand Bahama island, excluding the city of Freeport, which forms its own district.
 Communities within West Grand Bahama include the settlements of Mack Town, Hunters, Lewis Yard, Pinder's Point, Eight Mile Rock, Hepburn Town, Bartlett Hill, Hanna Hill, Pine Dale, Martin Town, Russell Town, Jones Town, Sea Grape, Holmes Rock, Bootle Bay and the westernmost settlement of West End.
Howard Robard Hughes Jr. (December 24, 1905 – April 5, 1976) was an American businessman, investor, pilot, film director, and philanthropist, known during his lifetime as one of the most financially successful individuals in the world.
 He first made a name for himself as a film producer, and then became an influential figure in the aviation industry.
