Honiara is a city with a population of 64,000 and is the capital of the nation known as the Solomon Islands. It is built around an old Japanese airstrip on the island of Guadalcanal they called Runga Point although it was spelled with an L — really.
The United States took it from them in 1942 and renamed it Henderson Field. In February of the next year they secured the island and turned it into a major base with a sophisticated infrastructure.
And that infrastructure would become the national capital Honiara. The city’s international airport is actually at the site of Henderson Field.
