Historical Description | The island of Solor belongs to the Indonesian Solor archipelago and thus to the Lesser Sunda Islands. In 1520, the Portuguese established a trading post in the town of Lamakera on the eastern side of the island as a stopover on the way from the Moluccas to Malacca. They traditionally speak Adonara and Lamaholot (Solorese). The population has lived from whaling for centuries. In the 16th century, the trade routes were heavily dependent on the season. There was always resistance to the Portuguese and their religion. Due to conflicts with the missionaries, the traders left Solor in 1599 and settled in Larantuka on Flores. |
