==History==
Prior to European colonialism in Micronesia, Namoluk was allied with Ettal, Oneop, and Moch in wars against Lukunoch, Satawan, Kuttu, and Ta. Occasionally Namoluk would also ally with Nama to battle against Losap. Such alliances are shape modern-day sense of identity and community among the different island communities.
The first documented contact of the Namoluk atoll by westerners was in 1827 when Captain Richard Macy sailed pass by the atoll on the whaleship ''Henry''. The next year, the explorer Fyodor Litke made first foreign contact with the locals aboard the ''Senyavin''. In his account he reported that the locals approached his ship using their canoes and asked if they could explore the ship. Litke and the locals parted on good terms, and whalers and traders started using Micronesian waters more.〔
