More Information about Pitcairn Islands

With its 48 people Pitcairn Islands is the 231st largest country in the world by population. It is the 228th largest country by area with 47 square kilometers. Pitcairn Island was discovered in 1767 by the British and settled in 1790 by the Bounty mutineers and their Tahitian companions. Pitcairn was the first Pacific island to become a British colony (in 1838) and today remains the last vestige of that empire in the South Pacific. Outmigration, primarily to New Zealand, has thinned the population from a peak of 233 in 1937 to less than 50 today.
