It is one of the Nggela Islands. HistoryThe first recorded sighting by Europeans was by the Spanish expedition of Álvaro de Mendaña on 16 April 1568. More precisely the sighting was due to a local voyage done by a small boat, in the accounts the brigantine Santiago, commanded by Maestre de Campo Pedro Ortega Valencia and having Hernán Gallego as pilot.[1][2] World War IIAlong with the nearby island of Tanambogo, it played an important role in the Guadalcanal campaign during World War II. In 1942 the Japanese attempted to establish a seaplane base on the island. On 7–9 August 1942, in the Battle of Tulagi and Gavutu–Tanambogo, the 1st Marine Parachute Battalion and elements of the U.S. 2nd Marine Regiment assaulted and occupied the island.[3][4] References1. ^Sharp, Andrew The discovery of the Pacific Islands Oxford, 1960, p. 45. {{Islands of the Solomon Islands}}{{Solomons-geo-stub}}2. ^Brand, Donald D.
