history

Honor grave for the fallen FALINTIL fighters in Laleia

The oldest traces of human settlement on Timor are between 43,000 and 44,000 years old as of 2017. They were discovered in the Laili cave near Laleia.

Laleia and Cairui were traditional Timorian empires ruled by a liurai . They appear on a list by Afonso de Castro , a former governor of Portuguese Timor who listed 47 empires in 1868.

Laleia provided arms to Portugal during the Cová rebellion in 1868 . In 1882 there was fighting between Vemasse and Laleia, for which the Portuguese commander of the military command was held responsible.

In 1975 the population fled from the Indonesian invaders from Laleia to Natarbora . In the deserted place, the Indonesian army destroyed the food supplies. Deaths from hunger were the result. In 1976 the sub-district was a retreat for the FALINTIL , who fought against the Indonesian invaders. Here she founded a base de apoio, a resistance base that offered refuge for refugees from Baucau, Manatuto and Viqueque . The base was later destroyed by the Indonesians. At the end of 1979 there was an Indonesian camp for East Timorese in Lifau, who should be relocated by the occupiers for better control. Between 1970 and 1980 the population of the sub-district decreased from 3,169 to 1,695.
