History
The Northern Group atolls have the longest history of any of the Cook Islands. They were first discovered about 2000 years ago when Polynesian voyagers set out from Samoa and Tonga towards the unknown east. On the way to discover what are now called the Society Islands (French Polynesia), they found these tiny atolls.
The atolls were not settled until some centuries later. In fact, most were settled by explorers from the Southern Group islands, arriving almost a millennium after the atolls were first discovered.
