Madang
KNOWLEDGE OF Madang
Madang is the capital of Madang Province and is a town on the north coast of Papua New Guinea. It was first settled by the Germans in the 19th century. The town is said to be one of the prettiest towns in the South Pacific.
Russian Biologist Nicolai Miklouho-Maclay was probably the first European to visit the area. In 1871 he stayed at Astrolab Bay just south of present day Madang for 15 months. He had a good relationship with the local communities before leaving suffering from Malaria.
In 1884 the German New Guinea company arrived and tried to establish a base at various locations including at present day Madang but were continually beaten by Malaria. They eventually moved to Rabaul.
The Japanese invaded and captured Madang without a fight during World War II in 1942. The town was retaken by Australian troops in a sustained attack in 1943. During the fighting the town was virtually demolished and had to be rebuilt afterwards.
