New Caledonia: Settled by both Britain and France during the first half of the 19th century, the island was made a French possession in 1853. It served as a penal colony for four decades after 1864. Agitation for independence during the 1980s and early 1990s has dissipated. -- The CIA World Factbook: New Caledonia Area of New Caledonia: 19,060 sq km slightly smaller than New Jersey Population of New Caledonia: 213,679 July 2004 estimate Languages of New Caledonia: French official Melanesian-Polynesian 33 dialects New Caledonia Capital: Noumea New Caledonia Articles and Links MSN Encarta reference Governments on the WWW links Travelocity Free Real-Time Airline Flight Tracking |
