The British Virgin Islands (BVI) is a
British overseas territory, located in the Caribbean to the east of Puerto Rico.
The islands make up part of the Virgin Islands archipelago, the remaining
islands constituting the U.S. Virgin Islands. Technically the name of the
Territory is simply the "Virgin Islands", but in practice since 1917 they have
been almost universally referred to as the "British Virgin Islands" to
distinguish the islands from the American Territory. To add to the regional
confusion, the Puerto Rican islands of Culebra, Vieques and surrounding islands
began referring to themselves as the "Spanish Virgin Islands" as part of a
tourism drive in the early 2000s. The British Virgin Islands consist of the main
islands of Tortola, Virgin Gorda, Anegada and Jost Van Dyke, along with over
fifty other smaller islands and cays. Approximately fifteen of the islands are
inhabited. The largest island, Tortola, is approximately 20 km (approx. 12 mi)
long and 5 km (approx. 3 mi) wide. The islands have a total population of about
22,000, of whom approximately 18,000 live on Tortola. Road Town, the capital, is
situated on Tortola.
