Maxwell Town — The Town That Disappeared | Kendell “Roots” Rolle | Abaco History

A town can disappear from the landscape, yet its story deserves to be remembered. “Maxwell Town — The Town That Disappeared” explores a little-known chapter of Abaco’s Loyalist history through music and storytelling. It reflects on the hopes of settlers building a new home in the 1780s, the challenges they faced, and a settlement that gradually faded from view. Performed by Kendell “Roots” Rolle Produced by AFA Digital Music Studio This song blends historical research with poetic storytelling. Some details of Maxwell Town’s location, development and decline remain uncertain. The cover is an artist’s interpretation of a Loyalist-era harbour. Historical research references appear in the scrolling credits during the final minute. Do you have family stories, old maps, photographs or documents connected to Maxwell Town?
