The municipality of Tatakoto (259 inhabitants in 2017, 790 ha) is an atoll located 1,100 kilometers from Tahiti and 200 kilometers from the nearest inhabited atolls of Vahitahi and Puka Puka; Tatakoto is therefore one of the most remote atolls in the Tuamotu Archipelago as well as all of French Polynesia.
Two Spanish explorers - Domingo de Boenechea and Andiay Varela - sighted Tatakoto independently of each other on the same day in 1774, becoming the atoll's first European discoverers. From 1900 to 1927 Frenchman Albert Javelot served as the atoll's chief, planting the atoll with coconut trees that still cover the atoll today.
