History & geography

History

Milikapiti was founded in 1941 as the Snake Bay government aboriginal settlement. In 1942, aboriginals from Snake Bay captured Australia's first Japanese prisoner of war, Sergeant Hajime Toyoshima, who crash-landed on Melville Island after his plane was damaged while bombing Darwin. The Snake Bay Patrol was also formed from local Indigenous Australians during World War II.
