About Diego Garcia

Diego Garcia is an atoll. It is located in the in the middle of the Indian Ocean, about 1,600 km south off India's and Sri Lanka's southern coasts .It is officially a British Colony, part of the British Indian Ocean Territories. In terms of size, it has 174 sq km of total area out of which 30 sq km are land, 17 sq km peripheral reefs and 124 sq km are lagoon. The indigenous population was relocated and are currently fighting a court battle to return to the island chain. However, they are still exiled from the largest and only inhabited island in the chain, Diego Garcia. On it once had a small native population, the inhabitants Ilois were forced to relocate (1967ñ1973) so that the island could be turned into the U.S. military base. About 850 islanders forced off Diego Garcia are alive today. The Portuguese explored Diego Garcia in the 1500s (it is named for a Portuguese navigator). Between 1814 and 1965 it was a territory of Mauritius. It then became part of the Chagos Archipelago, which belonged to the newly created British Indian Ocean Territory. In 1970, the island was leased to the United States, and developed as a joint U.S.-UK air and naval refueling and support station during the cold war. Located in the middle of the Indian Ocean and out of cyclone range, it was ideal for keeping an eye on the Soviet Union. Trade and economic activity are not usually associated with Diego Garcia. There is a very good reason for this as ostensibly it is nonexistent. This has not always been the case, but clearly economic activity on the atoll has always been negligible to all except those who have resided there.
