It is an incorporated parish seat of the consolidated [[Oaroa Parish]], situated along the north-central coast of the island of [[Taseí]]. Oaroa is the southernmost and easternmost major city in the Woqalate. With 445,233 residents within the city limits, Oaroa is the 30th-largest city in Tierrador, only slightly behind [[Wadičaq]]. Oaroa is the Saukhin' main gateway to the world. It is also a major hub for business, finance, hospitality, and military defense in both the region and the [[Polynesian Sea]]. The city is characterized by a mix of various [[Polynesia|Polynesian]], [[Occident|Occidental]], and [[Coscivian civilization|Coscivian]] cultures, reflected in its diverse demography, cuisine, and traditions. | ||
Oaroa had originally been settled by the Kahu'nale since the mid-1500s, situated at the foot of [[Mount Ganja]], the tallest point in Tierrador. The city was a important hub for trade with other major powers, such as [[Daxia]] (through [[Stenza]] and [[Truk]]), [[Burgundie]], and [[Takatta Loa]]. On June 19, 1832, during the [[Saukhin Conquest]], the city was ambushed by the [[Tierrador#Qabóri Woqalate|Qabóri]] Navy, in what took two days to fully capture and integrate the city along with the rest of the Saukhin Archipelago into the Qabóri Woqalate. The city's desirability as a port accounts for its historical growth and importance in the Saukhin archipelago and the broader Polynesian region. Oaroa has been the capital of the Saukhin Islands since 1675, firstly of the Tapkoii Kingdom, and since 1832 of the Tierradorian qoyalet and commonwealth of the Saukhin Islands. | Oaroa had originally been settled by the Kahu'nale since the mid-1500s, situated at the foot of [[Mount Ganja]], the tallest point in Tierrador.
