rdf:langString The Hope Town District Council is a local government council in the Bahamas. It is a third schedule district council located within the Abaco Islands of the northwest Bahamas. After the implementation of local government in the Bahamas in 1996, the Ministry of Local Government approved the creation of the Hope Town District in 1999. The initial council makeup included seven councillors, three from Hope Town, three from Man-O-War Cay, and one from Great Guana Cay. During the 2008 local government elections, the council makeup was downsized to five councillors, with two for Hope Town, two for Man-O-War Cay, and one for Great Guana Cay. The Hope Town District Council is an amalgamation of thirteen islands: Great Guana Cay, Scotland Cay, Foot's Cay, Fowl Cay, Man-O-War Cay, Sandy Cay, Dickie's Cay, Garden Cay, Johnny's Cay, Elbow Cay (where the capital settlement Hope Town is located), Lubber's Quarters, Tilloo Cay, and the Pelican Cays.
