Jarvis Island
Introduction Jarvis Island
--------------------------
Background: First discovered by the British in
1821, the uninhabited island was
annexed by the US in 1858, but
abandoned in 1879 after tons of
guano had been removed. The UK
annexed the island in 1889, but
never carried out plans for further
exploitation. The US occupied and
reclaimed the island in 1935.
Abandoned after World War II, the
island is currently a National
Wildlife Refuge administered by the
US Department of the Interior; a day
beacon is situated near the middle
of the west coast.
