Property Highlights

Former Use: guiguan Island is one of the uninhabited islands in the Commonwealth of the Northern Marianas Islands (CNMI) located about 5.6 miles southwest if Tinian and about 10 miles southwest of the southern end of Saipan. Past known uses of the island, under the Japanese administration (1919-1944), Aguiguan Island was used extensively for sugarcane and other crops cultivation for export at the time. Facilities constructed to support the crop cultivation included: housing, water catchment and storage, and a dock for offshore loading onto transport ships. On June 11, 1944 at the onset of WW II, preliminary aerial bombing began in the Marianas by the U.S. forces. Given the close proximity to Saipan and Tinian, Aguiguan was most likely a subject target during the bombing. Currently, the island uninhabited, but has an over population of farrow goats, hence the name Goat island. The goat population has become more of an impact to the natural vegetation.
