History
First recorded sighting of Jabat Island was by the Spanish navigator Alonso de Arellano on 8 January 1565 on board of the patache San Lucas.[3]
Jabat Island was claimed by the German Empire along with the rest of the Marshall Islands in 1885.[4] Along with other German possessions in the Pacific, it was taken by the Empire of Japan during World War I and remained under Japanese rule during the interwar South Seas Mandate. Following the end of World War II, it came under the control of the United States as part of the Trust Territory of the Pacific Islands until the independence of the Marshall Islands in 1986.
Education
Marshall Islands Public School System operates Jabat Elementary School.[5] Students are zoned to Jaluit High School in Jaluit Atoll.[6]
