Rota, Pacific island in Northern Mariana Islands, US
Rota rises to 1,627 feet from the western Pacific Ocean, covering 33 square miles of volcanic terrain with green hills and coastal beaches.
The island transformed from a Japanese-administered sugarcane production center before World War II into a modern agricultural and tourism destination.
Ancient latte stone sites across Rota stand as physical remnants of the Chamorro civilization, displaying the enduring indigenous heritage of the Marianas.
Direct flights connect Rota International Airport with Guam, while local transportation options help visitors explore beaches, farms, and archaeological locations.
The population decreased from 3,283 in 2000 to 2,527 in 2010, creating an environment where traditional farming and fishing methods continue.
