Majuro

The atoll consists of 64 islets arranged in an elliptical shape, extending 25 miles in length with a total area of 4 square miles.

The German Empire incorporated Majuro into their protectorate in 1885, followed by Japanese occupation in 1914 and United States administration after World War II.

The population centers of Dalap, Uliga, and Darrit form the main settlement areas where Marshallese traditions remain central to community life.

The College of Marshall Islands and University of South Pacific maintain campuses on the atoll, providing educational opportunities for local residents.

Majuro functions as one of the Pacific region's primary tuna transshipment locations, supporting the local maritime economy through its port facilities.
