Faʻaʻā, Administrative region in Tahiti, French Polynesia.
Located on the northern coast of Tahiti island, Faʻaʻā extends from coastal areas to mountainous terrain reaching heights of 1,500 meters.
The first inhabitants of Faʻaʻā arrived from Asia by canoe around 700 CE, establishing settlements along the beach with a population of 1,000 by 1300.
The University of French Polynesia in Faʻaʻā contributes to education and research, serving students from across the Pacific island communities.
