EspañolCHALAN PAGO-ORDOT, GUAM
(Redirected from Chalan-Pago-Ordot)
'Chalan Pago-Ordot' is a municipality in the American island of Guam containing the villages of Chalan-Pago and Ordot. It is located in the eastern-central part of the island and is part of the ''Kattan'' (Eastern) District.
Pago is the Chamorro word for the wild tree ''Hibiscus tiliaceus''[2], while "chalan" is "road". The name Chalan Pago is named after the path from Hagåtña to the Spanish village at Pago Bay. Ordot comes from the word for ant.
In World War II, the Japanese used the area as a supply depot during their occupation of the island. Ordot is also the site of the controversial Ordot Landfill, first constructed by the U.S. Navy, but now full and in violation of EPA regulations.
Guam Public School System serves the island.
Ordot/Chalan Pago Elementary School and Agueda Johnston Middle School are in Chalan-Pago-Ordot.
