Both the city and its island are steeped in rich history and heritage. During the Second World War, Manus, and its capital, Lorengau, it was occupied by the Japanese from 1942 until 1944, when Allied troops recaptured it.

Seedler Harbor was constructed by the Allies and became home to as many as 600 ships. Nowadays, it is a tranquil location filled with fishing boats that is home to a beautiful reef.
