Farquhar Atoll
The Farquhar Atoll is part of the Farquhar Group of islands in the Seychelles that are part of the Outer Islands.
The atoll is located at . It is the most southerly part of the Seychelles.
==History==
The atoll was named in honour of Robert Townsend Farquhar in 1824. Earlier visitors had named it after Portuguese explorer João da Nova who commanded that nation’s third expedition to India during which he encountered Farquhar (in 1504). Administration of the atoll was a grey area for many years, with both Mauritius and Seychelles claiming the right to administer it. In 1881 the authorities in Seychelles suggested Farquhar, along with several other outer islands, be administered from Victoria in Seychelles rather than from Mauritius. There were objections as the owners were based in Mauritius but after considerable argument, the owners lost their case and administration was passed from Mauritius to Seychelles.
From 1965 to the independence of the Seychelles in 1976, Farquhar was a part of the British Indian Ocean Territory.〔Kevin Shillington, ''Albert Rene: The Father of Modern Seychelles, a Biography'' (2014), p. 18.〕
