It covers over a 16 block area that lies southwest of Whitehead Street and northeast of Truman Annex, bordered by Whitehead, Southard, Fort and Louisa Streets.

It is a primarily black neighborhood, and is named for its many original residents who were of Bahamian ancestery.

The entrance to the village on Petronia Street has an open air flea market, shops and restaurants, and has recently become a small tourist attraction.
