Fohoren is a suco and the capital of the East Timorese administrative office Fohorem in the municipality of Cova Lima .
Place name
There are different statements about the meaning of the name Fohoren ( Fohorem, Fohorém, Fuorém ) from the Tetum . According to one source, Foho means "mountain" and Ren means "peak". Another source translates Fohoreen as "valley".
In 1936 Fohoren was renamed Nova Gouveia by the Portuguese . But the name did not catch on and a few years after the Second World War , the old name was reverted to.
The place
The place Fohoren is 94 km southwest of the state capital Dili as the crow flies and about 20 km northwest of the municipal capital Suai at an altitude of 595 m . In the immediate vicinity of Fohoren there are several localities that form a more or less closed settlement with Fohoren. They are: Fatuc Bitic Laran ( Fatukbitiklaran ), Nularan , Sadahur ( Sadahor ), Lo'o Hali ( Loohali ) and Fatuhesi ( Fatubesi ). There is a primary school ( Escola Primaria Catolica Nossa Senhora do Rosario de Fátima ), two preparatory schools for the secondary level, a developed helipad and a community health center. A country road leads from Tilomar to Fohoren, but for the parliamentary elections in East Timor in 2007 the ballot boxes had to be brought to the polling station in the primary school by helicopter and picked up.
There is a weekly market in Fohoren on Sundays.

history
Fohorem was one of the traditional kingdoms of Timor , ruled by a liurai . It appears on a list by Afonso de Castro , a former governor of Portuguese Timor who listed 47 empires in 1868.
According to oral tradition, Fohorem Nutetu had secured sovereignty in the region through diplomacy, marriage policy and campaigns against other empires. In Dato Tolu there is an old sword that is stuck in a stone. It should come from the ancestors. There are another five striking stones in a betel nut grove . They are said to be related to the five royal daughters who, according to an old legend , ruled Camenaça , Suai, Maucatar , Taroman and Fohorem under the suzerainty of their father. The name should be derived from this. " Koba " (from which "Kova" is derived) is a basket for ritual ceremonies and "lima", the word for "five".
Governor José Celestino da Silva led an offensive against Fohorem and other neighboring empires in March 1895 to finally subdue them for Portugal . Fohoren became the administrative center of the Portuguese in the region. They appreciated the mountainous region because of the cooler climate. In addition, the place on its hill offered better protection from attackers. After the Second World War Fohoren became part of the district (conselho) Fronteira , whose main town was Bobonaro . In 1961, Cova Lima became an independent district with Suai as its capital.
