NASSAU, BAHAMAS – On this day in Bahamian history, Charles Cecil Farquharson Dundas died at the age of 71, in 1956.

Dundas was Governor of the Bahamas Islands from 1933 to 1940. He previously served as Colonial Secretary of the colony.

The Dundas Centre for the Performing Arts (first known as the Dundas Civic Centre) on New Providence is named after him.


In 1789, the Hon. John Brown was granted 150 acres of land on the island of New Providence. On this property would be built the Buena Vista Estate, which is now the John Watling’s Distillery on Delancy Street in Nassau.
