Ragged Island is an island in the southern Bahamas. Ragged Island is part of the Jumentos Cays and Ragged Island Chain. The crescent-shaped chain measures over 180 km in length and includes cays known as Raccoon Cay, Hog Cay and Double-Breasted Cay. Island ownership is stated to have been granted to William George Lockhart some time in the 18th century.
In the 19th Century, Duncan Taylor (after whom Duncan Town, the only settlement is named) developed salt ponds and developed an active salt industry which peaked in the 1930s.
