The provincial government seat is part of the French territory of New Caledonia, at Lifou, which is {{convert|100|km}} away. The Loyalty Islands are a collectivité territoriale of France. The province's 2014 population was approximately 18,297 inhabitants living on almost {{convert|2,000|km2}}. The native inhabitants are the Kanak and the Tavu'avua' peoples. HistoryThe first Western contact on record is attributed to British Captain William Raven of the whaler Britannia, who was on his way from Norfolk Island to Batavia (now called Jakarta), in 1793. It is very likely, however, that the discovery and name goes back to the London ship Loyalty, which was on a Pacific Ocean trading voyage from 1789 to 1790. GeographyThe archipelago consists of six inhabited islands: Lifou Island, Maré Island, Tiga Island, Ouvéa Island, Mouli Island, and Faiava Island, as well as several smaller uninhabited islands and islets. Their combined land area is {{convert|1,981|km²|0|abbr=on}}. The highest elevation is at {{convert|138|m|0|abbr=on}} above sea level on Maré Island. The islands are part of the New Caledonia rain forests ecoregion. DemographicsThe people of the Loyalty Islands are of mixed Melanesian and Polynesian ancestry, with a small European minority. The population numbered 17,436 in the 2009 census, a 7.9% reduction from the 22,080 in the preceding 2004 census. In 2014 the population grew to 18,297, an increase of 4.9%.[1][2] Several thousand more Loyalty Islanders live on New Caledonia, especially in Nouméa, the capital, and in the mining areas of the main island. The chief export of the Loyalty Islands is copra. CommunesThe Loyalty Islands Province is divided into three communes (municipalities):
