Wabag
Wabag is the capital of Enga Province, Papua New Guinea. It is the least populous provincial capital in the country. It is on the Lai River; the Highlands Highway passes through the town, between Mount Hagen and Porgera. Europeans first visited the site in 1938-39〔("Wabag." ) ''Encyclopædia Britannica Online''. Retrieved 4 November 2009. The noted statement in Encyclopædia Britannica is likely to be a typographical error, as the well-known and amply documented Mick and Danny Leahy expedition of 1933 proceeded on from the Wahgi Valley to the site of Wabag and then up the Ambum Valley.〕 A radio camp and airstrip were established in 1938-39 but restrictions on transportation and the surrounding land's infertility long inhibited Wabag's development.〔("Wabag." ) ''Encyclopædia Britannica Online''. Retrieved 4 November 2009.〕 ==History== A regional outpost of the Western Highlands District under the Australian Administration of Papua and New Guinea, shortly before Independence in 1975 much of the Enga-speaking region of the Western Highlands was separated into a discrete District and then, at Independence, Province with Wabag as the Provincial Headquarters.
