Hithadhoo has a rich historical legacy dating back centuries as one of the most populous islands in the Maldives. During World War II, the British established a naval base here, transforming the island into a strategic military outpost. The island played a crucial role in defending the Indian Ocean region. After the war, Hithadhoo evolved into the administrative and commercial center of Addu City. The island witnessed significant political events, including the brief secession attempt in the 1960s. Today, Hithadhoo stands as a testament to resilience, blending its historical heritage with modern development while preserving its unique cultural identity.
