Jaluit Atoll (Marshallese: Jālwōj, [tʲælʲ(o)wɤtʲ], or Jālooj, [tʲælʲoːtʲ][2]) is a large coral atoll of 91 islands in the Pacific Ocean and forms a legislative district of the Ralik Chain of the Republic of the Marshall Islands.

German imperial commissars (Kaiserliche Kommissare) included: After World War I, the island became a part of the South Seas Mandate, a mandated territory of the Empire of Japan, and was the seat of the Japanese administration over the Marshall Islands.

[6] The island was bombed on at least five occasions in November and December 1943 by B-24 Liberator bombers of the USAAF 7th Air Force.

From World War II until 1986, Jaluit came under the control of the United States as part of the Trust Territory of the Pacific Islands.

Their homes on both Kili and Jaluit were struck by typhoons during 1957 and 1958, sinking their supply ship and damaging crops.

[11] Jaluit remained under the control of the United States until the independence of the Marshall Islands in 1986.

The ruins of the power station, barracks, antiaircraft guns and a Shinto shrine remain.
