Abstract: This booklet is the product of the Yap District Administration's attempts to produce a source of general information on the people, culture, government and brief history of the Yap District for not only our visitors but for the people of the district as well. We hope that as you take time to read this booklet you will find it very informative and will help you to appreciate our district. Yap today still remains the most interesting district to visit where the people still hold strong ties to their cultural heritage, traditions and customs, in spite of the disruptions caused by foreign influences since the first foreigner set foot on the island in 1526.
