Tongatapu is the main island of Tonga where the capital Nukuʻalofa is located. It is the most populous island comprising approximately 66 577 residents, 68.3% of population (in 1996). Tongatapu is also the home island of the king (he has palaces in all the capitals of the major islands groups, but the late king's official residence (now of the queen-mother only) is the Royal Palace, Tonga). There are also numerous Tongan historical sites on the island. The capital, Nukuʻalofa, has seen a more rapid economic development than the other islands and is thus a commercial hub, attracting many immigrants from outer islands.
