Korovou

It is considered the centre of Fiji's dairy industry, which was established at the end of the First World War by British settlers, on land donated by Fijian chiefs.

Descendants of the original settlers still operate a few of Korovou's dairy farms.

A compromise was eventually worked out, whereby the former landowners would have the first option to purchase any farm coming up for sale.

During the Fiji coup of 2000, supporters of insurrectionist George Speight stormed the local police station, taking 30 hostages.
