My mother (nee, Ethel Alfreda Smith) was born on Lovango in 1920 to Juliana DeToy Smith and William Charles Smith (my grandparents are both buried at Coki Point). Mom spoke longingly of Lovango and Thatch Cay (where they lived after Lovango) and missed them immensely, having moved up to Ohio in the early 1940s (where my father was from). Except for a few visits, she never got back to the Islands, as she passed away in 2001. Some day, I’ll go back to visit.

Actually, Lovango was named for one of the African tribes, some of whose members were traded away in slavery to the West Indies.

Cute story about the name love an go but that is not a true story. The name was Loango Cay in Danish times. Probably named after the Loango River in Gabon on the West Coast of Africa. Its where the Mingo, Congo and Loango all meet in Gabon.
Been living here (Lovango)for 8 years, one of 4 residents at this time.
It is just as peaceful and tranquil as the video depicts.

Hmmm… could this be the future sight of Bongo Bongo Bongo? Speaking of islands for sale I see that in the real estate listings that Thatch Cay is “contract pending”. Anyone have the scoop on who may be buying it?
