The Turks and Caicos Islands is a British Overseas Territory located in the northern Caribbean Sea, consisting of more than 40 islands, including Grand Turk and Providenciales, with Cockburn Harbour, the capital, situated on the west coast of Grand Turk. Founded in 1681, this historic town is the political and economic center of the archipelago and retains colonial architecture such as the old Government House and St. George's Church. Cockburn Harbour is surrounded by world-class beaches and coral reefs, and tourism is the mainstay of the region, attracting visitors from around the globe to experience island activities such as scuba diving and fishing. As an important stopover for Atlantic trade, it is a blend of British culture and Caribbean flavor, both a witness to history and a model for modern island vacations.
