FRENCH POLYNESIA

Tahiti was visited for the first time in 1842. The Marquesas, Touamotou, Société, Gambier, Australs and Wallis and Futuna formed French Oceania or the French Establishments of Oceania, which became an overseas territory in 1946. Following the decree from March 1957, French Oceania becomes French Polynesia.
