History of Vanuatu

During the colonial period, particularly under the Anglo-French Condominium governance (1906–1980), Iririki Island gained prominence as a site for European settlement. British Residency: In 1913, the British Commissioner for the New Hebrides established his residence on Iririki Island. The island served as a center of administration for British governance during the condominium period, contrasting with the French administrative presence elsewhere. Its relative isolation and position in Port Vila's harbor made it an ideal location for this purpose. Post-War Use: After World War II, the island continued to play a role in administrative and social functions tied to the colonial powers. However, its importance as a governmental site diminished as Vanuatu moved toward independence.
