The area occupied by Port Vila has been inhabited by [[Melaneezje|Melanesyske]]n people for thousands of years. In 1606, the first Europeans arrived at the island, led by [[Pedro Fernández de Quirós]] en [[Luis Váez de Torres]]. In the 19th century, French settlers established the municipality of [[Franceville, New Hebrides|Franceville]], which declared independence in 1889 and became the first [[self-governing]] nation to practice [[universal suffrage]] without distinction of sex or race.
After 1887, the territory was jointly administered by the [[Frankryk|French]] and the [[Feriene Keninkryk|British]]. This was formalized in 1906 as an Anglo-French [[Condominium (international law)|Condominium]]. During [[Twadde Wrâldkriich]], Port Vila was an American and Australian airbase. In 1987, [[cyclone]] Uma severely damaged the city. A powerful [[ierdskodding]] in January 2002 caused extensive damage in the capital and surrounding areas.
