Velidhoo (Dhivehi: ވެލިދޫ) is one of the inhabited islands of Noonu Atoll in the Maldives.

History

The origin of the first settlers of Velidhu{{Clarify|date=January 2013|reason=Is it Velidhoo or Velidhu?}} remains a mystery. Historians date the earliest settlements to the 5th century BC with Aryan immigrants coming from India and Sri Lanka.

The island has many historic monuments including a tree (Velidhu bodu nikagas), which has been there for more than five centuries. Much of the history of Velidhu is unknown, but research is ongoing.

Geography

The island is {{convert|166.52|km|mi nmi|0|abbr=on}} north of the country's capital, Malé.[2]

Demography
