Cook Islands

Information about Cook Islands


Named after Captain COOK, who sighted them in 1770, the islands became a British protectorate in 1888.

By 1900, administrative control was transferred to New Zealand; in 1965, residents chose self-government in free association with New Zealand.

The emigration of skilled workers to New Zealand and government deficits are continuing problems.
