Ternate has a long and rich history, dating back to the 16th century when it was a powerful sultanate. During this period, Ternate was a major center of the spice trade and was a major rival to the neighboring sultanate of Tidore. In the 19th century, the Dutch East India Company took control of the island, and it remained under Dutch control until Indonesia declared its independence in 1945.
Today, Ternate is a popular tourist destination, thanks to its stunning beaches, vibrant culture, and rich history.
