1791. This island is the largest of the group with an area of 345 sq km, its population is
2375 inhabitants (1996 census). Its highest point is Tekao, which reaches an elevation of
1,186 m. The town of Taiohae is the administrative capital of the Marquesas Islands. In
the island there are three main villages: Hatiheu (pop. 343, with 115 in Aakapa) Taipivai
(pop. 345) and Taiohae (pop. 1,687).
