Sånta Rita-Sumai, formerly Santa Rita and encompassing the former municipality of Sumay, is a village located on the southwest coast of the United States territory of Guam with hills overlooking Apra Harbor.
Prior to the War, the village of Sumay was on the Orote Peninsula, which forms the southern boundary of Apra Harbor.
Once a thriving commercial center, it suffered severe devastation from bombardment by the United States military forces during the Liberation of Guam from the Empire of Japan.
[2][3] The U.S. Census Bureau counts it under multiple census-designated places: Santa Rita,[4] and Apra Harbor.
[8] McCool Elementary/Middle School is located on Naval Base Guam, nearly the old Sumay village site.
