Guam U.S.A

I live in the Northern part of Guam in a Village called "Yigo". 
This is the Island of Guam where I'm from. A beautiful Island under the Sun.The territory of Guam is divided into 19 municipalities more commonly called villages. Each municipality is governed by an elected mayor. Village populations range in size from under 1,000 to over 40,000. 
As of the 2000 census, the total population of Guam was 154,805.



Many villages have rich histories reaching back thousands of years. Artifacts from ancient Chamorru settlements can be found in every village of Guahan. When Spain colonized Guahan, the island was divided into separate districts. Each district consisted of a parish with a village center governed by an alcalde, appointed by the island's governor.
Many Chamorrus, the indigenous people of Guahan, were forced to live in the new villages, each centered on a church, so they could learn Christianity. In the 18th century, there were six parishes on Guahan: HAgatnaHagatHumatakMalessoInalahan, and Pago.
Prior to Spanish colonization, Chamorrus regularly held village celebrations. After adopting Christianity, these celebrations became fiestas in honor of the patron saint of each village. Annual village fiestas are still held throughout Guam every year.
The current division of Guahan into municipalities took place in the 1920s under U.S. Navy administration.

Yigo (pronounced dzi-go) (ChamorroYigu) is the northern most village of the American Unincorporated Territory, Island of Guam and is the location of Andersen Air Force Base. The municipality of Yigo is larger than any other village on the island via land mass.


Yigo is historically one of Guam's richest farming areas. During World War II, the village was the site of a concentration camp during Japanese occupation of the island. It was also the site of the island's final battle during the war. The South Pacific Memorial Peace Park was built by the Japanese Government and is dedicated to the many Japanese and American soldiers who died in the battle of Guam.
