Satawan
Satawan Atoll is an atoll located about 250 kilometres (160 mi) southeast of Chuuk proper. Geographically it is part of the Nomoi or Mortlock Islands in the Carolines and administratively it is part of Chuuk State in the Federated States of Micronesia. About 3,000 people live on a land area of 5 square kilometres (1.9 sq mi).[1]
A Japanese airfield was located on the atoll during World War II.
Satawan Atoll administratively consists of four of the 40 municipalities of Chuuk State, named after the principal islets:
Satowan and Ta municipalities are statistically grouped with the "Lower Mortlocks", and Kuttu and Moch municipalities with the "Mid Mortlocks".
Satawan Atoll had a population of 2,935 as of the 2000 census[update]. Satawan Atoll is located at 5°18′N 153°42′E / 5.30°N 153.70°E and has a total area of 419 square kilometres (162 sq mi) (including the lagoon), but a land area of only 4.6 square kilometres (1.8 sq mi).
Captain James Mortlock was sailing from Port Jackson to Whampoa in Young William when he rediscovered two sets of islands on 19 and 27 November 1795. Confusingly, both were later called Mortlock Islands.
