Holiday Calendar for Tonga in July
The Kingdom of Tonga is a Polynesian country and archipelago comprising 169 islands, of which 36 are inhabited. Tonga became known in the West as the "Friendly Islands" because of the congenial reception accorded to Captain James Cook on his first visit in 1773. The country never relinquished its sovereignty to any foreign power.
