Lebanese first came to The Bahamas at much the same time as the Greeks as part of the Diaspora that saw as many as a million people escape from Turkish misrule in Syria. Many of the British West Indians employed at that time stayed and settled in Nassau, including some persons as Clement T. Maynard, a Barbadian with experiences in France, Brazil, Panama, and Cuba and Lionel Leach a Trinidadian.
