Before the 2015 regional reform, Taroman had an area of ​​24.29 km². Now it is 27.05 km². The Suco forms the east of the Fatululics administrative office and borders the Suco Fatululic in the west. The Lelosi , a tributary of the Tafara, forms the border to the Indonesian West Timor in the north and to the administrative office of Maucatar with its sucos Holpilat and Ogues in the west . To the south is the Fohorem administrative office with its Suco Dato Tolu .

A country road leads through the north to the places Taroman and Lia Nain ( Lianain ). A little road leads south from Taroman to the villages of Tialai , Macous ( Makous ) and Fatuloro ( Fato Loro , German  Sonnenberg ). In addition to Taroman, Macous and Fatuloro also have a primary school. There is a community health center in Macous.

Despite the country road, the ballot boxes for the parliamentary elections in East Timor in 2007 had to be brought by helicopter to the polling station in the Taroman primary school and picked up.

In the Suco there are the five Aldeia Fatuloro , Holba , Lia Nain , Macous and Taroman .

history

Taroman was one of the Timorese empires that was ruled by a Liurai. According to oral tradition, it was subordinate to the kingdom of Fohorem and paid tribute.

Taroman belonged to the Maucatar exclave, which was subordinated to the Netherlands in the Treaty of Lisbon (1859) . Maucatar was only connected to the rest of the Dutch territory by a narrow strip in the north. All around were Timorese empires that were assigned to Portugal . Although there was already an agreement between the colonial powers in 1904 that Maucatar was to be ceded to the Portuguese, it was not until 1916 that it passed into Portuguese ownership.

In 1976, residents from other parts of Cova Lima fled to Taroman and Dato Tolu from the invading Indonesians .

politics

In the elections of 2004/2005 was Leopoldo da Cruz Pina elected Chefe de Suco and in 2009 re-elected.
