Angaur

Located in the western Pacific Ocean, Angaur spans 8 square kilometers with limestone hills, small beaches, and natural vegetation throughout the island.

The Battle of Angaur in September 1944 involved United States forces capturing the island from Japanese troops during World War II operations.

The population of Angaur follows matrilineal practices that determine inheritance patterns and social structures within their traditional community organization.

Transportation to Angaur requires coordination with boat services or domestic flights from Koror, as the island maintains limited transportation infrastructure.

The state government system includes both elected officials and traditional chiefs, creating multiple layers of authority for a population of 119 residents.
