Everything about Niulakita totally explained
Niulakita is the southernmost island, atoll or district of
Tuvalu, and the name of the only village on this island.
Geographical features
This atoll consists of one island. It was bought by the
UK in 1944 to decrease the population density, and has a population (2002 census) of 35. There are four ponds or lakes and the village has a
maneapa (a village hall or community hall) in
Tuvalu. There is one on each isle and they serve meeting and recreational functions as well. The isle has an
oval outline, with the longer axis running east-west (about 1 km long).
Historical background
Niulakita was uninhabited until 1949 when it was settled with emigrants from overpopulated
Niutao. It was formerly named variously
La Solitaria,
Independence,
Sophia and
Rocky. European and North American sailors and explorers are known to have visited the island from the 16th Century onwards, hence the variety of names which have been recorded for the island.
