The first capital of this historical polity was named after Otto Finsch, who first negotiated for this polity to become a colony of its parent country. Finsch, along with banker Adolph von Hansemann, founded an eponymously named company to aid the colonization of it in 1884. A treaty in 1899 allowed this polity's parent country to incorporate islands to this polity's north, such as the Caroline and Mariana Islands. In 1914, this polity was occupied by Australia, which caused Hermann Detzner to flee inland and write Four Years among the Cannibals, which details adventures climbing the Kratke Range and crossing the Sepik River.
