Where is tamuning

#|

The large number of latte stones and other archeological finds around Tumon Bay are evidence that Tumon Bay, with its freshwater springs and excellent inshore fishing, has long been a major population center of the island. During the Spanish conquest of Guam in the late 17th century, Tumon Tumhun , Ipao, and Apotguan were all listed as major villages. However, with the resettlement of CHamorus during the Spanish-CHamoru wars, the area was completely emptied of people.

For the next two centuries, the area was primarily used for ranching, hunting, and fishing. The village of Tamuning was established in by Governor Pablo Perez, as a refuge for a group of Carolinians whose islands had been destroyed by a typhoon. During the US Naval Era , several changes came to the area. Unhappy with the cultural practices of the Carolinians, Governor Seaton Schroeder transported them to the neighboring island of Saipan, north of Guam, in , which was then under the administration of Germany.

Schroeder also established a leper colony at Ypao in which lasted until when its inhabitants were exiled to the Philippines, most never to be heard from again. Tumon was a popular fishing and salt-making area during these years. Life went on as usual for the Dededo villagers who did not have to leave their homes during the war, but Tumon Bay was fortified by the Japanese and ranchers were restricted from the area. Before Guam was reoccupied by the US military in , most residents in this area were forced into Japanese concentration camps.

Much of the land in Tumon Bay was also now off limits because it had been designated as an Army Air Corps recreation area. As the war came to an end the Unpingco, Santos, Pangelinan, and Leon Guerrero families returned to ranching and fishing in Tumon at the same time that the military was still using the area as a recreation zone.

A conflict arose in when the military threatened to condemn the entire area before the signing of the Organic Act in As the military bulldozers came through, Segundo Unpingco stood in front of them with his shotgun. In order to prevent public outcry, the condemnation was stopped.

The result was that Tumon remained in local hands. By the s, Tumon families were building permanent houses where their ranches had been. In , St. Williams Catholic Church was built to accommodate this community. However, by the s, rapid development was changing life in Tumon and many of these residents ended up moving to other parts of the island and the continental US. Tamuning also changed radically after the war.
