People
Falkland Islanders are predominantly of British descent. The 2006 census shows that the population is 2,478 (this excludes people affiliated with the military garrison) a growth of around 6% since the previous census of 2001. Just over 2100 of these live in Stanley, with the rest distributed around other settlements on the East, the West and the outer islands.
Many Falkland Islanders can trace their origins back over 150 years to the early days of settlement.
