The Island of Guam is the Western most territory of the United States. Guam was ceded to the United States following the Spanish American War in 1898 and formally purchased from Spain in 1899.

Placed under the administrative jurisdiction of the U.S. Navy, Guam experienced many improve-ments in the areas of agriculture, public health, sanitation, education, land management, taxes, and public works. The U.S. Navy continued to use Guam as a refueling and communication station until 1941, when it fell to invading Japanese forces shortly after the attack on Pearl Harbor. Guam remained under Japanese control until reclaimed by American forces in July of 1944. In 1949, U.S. President Harry S. Truman signed the Organic Act, making Guam an unincor-porated territory of the United States with limited self-governing authority, which it remains to this day.
