These settlements were focused on the rich soil with a mixed forest on a thin strip of land along the coast and around the bay. Within villages are numerous stone features with historical and traditional importance. Many stone platforms, odesongel, serve as clan cemeteries, while other stone features serve as shrines. The lagoon and Ngchemiangel Bay are important resource areas, and were probably intensively exploited prehistorically. Important resources include mangrove trees and many species of fish. In and around traditional villages are taro swamp gardens and garden plots, and surrounding many village sites are terraced hillsides. The territory was governed by Spain until 1899 when it was sold to Germany. In 1919 it became a Japanese possession until the United States took control after World War II.
