The New Caledonia federation of the National Front was created in 1984 in response to growing tensions and violence between loyalists and militant separatist groups such as FLNKS during a period known as "the events."

Some loyalist activists had also come to see The Rally under its leadership of Jacques Lafleur as too moderate and supported Jean-Marie Le Pen's call for a "French Caledonia."

[3] The National Front's support declined during the 1990s, as violence between groups died down and the party rejected the Nouméa Accord.

Although the party predominantly consolidated its support with Caldoche communities, the National Front also began expanding to Wallisians and loyalist Kanaks who had been targeted militants.
