About Hagåtña

Hagatna is the capital of Guam, an unincorporated US territory in the western Pacific, with a small resident population of about 1,000 in the capital itself, though it functions as the administrative center of an island of around 170,000 people. The local economy is dominated by US military presence with major Navy and Air Force installations, tourism oriented largely to Japanese and Korean visitors that has been significantly affected by changing visitor patterns, and US federal employment. English and Chamorro are both official languages, with English used in government and Asian languages widely present in tourism. The climate is tropical marine with consistent warmth and strong typhoon risk. As a US territory, US citizens can move freely without immigration paperwork. Hagatna suits relocators with military, federal, or tourism-sector employment.
