Nukualofa is the country’s capital, chief port, and largest town.
The population of Tonga (2006 estimate) is 114,689, giving the country an overall population density of 160 persons per sq km (414 per sq mi).
The population is unevenly distributed, however, and about two-thirds of the people live on Tongatapu, including one-fifth of the population that reside in Nukualofa (population, 2003 estimate, 34,654), the capital town.

 Nukualofa Town Tonga Islands Capital
Nuku'alofa Town is the capital of Tonga, sitting on an narrow isthmus facing the Pacific Ocean to the north, and the turquoise but polluted Fanga'uta Lagoon to the south.
Nuku'alofa town itself is unattractive with few architecturally pleasing buildings but the Talamahu market is a good place to visit on Saturdays - a busy place by Tongan standards.
The harbour wall along Vuna Road, where most of Nuku'alofa's tourist accommodation is located, is good for a stroll and spotting the offshore islands if nothing else to do but the beach is of coarse coral and often littered but is OK for swimming.

The 1904-11 periods in which mission activity centered almost entirely around the Nukualofa and Faleloa schools was characterized by frequent staff changes.
The nine different teachers spent no more than two years of continuous service in any one location and as a result by 1911 the education work was rapidly fading.
Hubert and Pearl Tolhurst were located at Faleloa to revive the school and on March 29 they began with thirty pupils and before long had reached capacity of forty students.

Communications with The Niuas and the tourist island group of Vavau have been lost, government spokeswoman Eseta Fusitua told AFP from the capital Nukualofa.

 Where the Day Begins - Tonga | Travel + Leisure   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-04)
What was meant to be a brief stopover between Fiji and American Samoa had been transformed into a week's stay through the vagaries of South Pacific air transportation in 1968 (I remember saying, "Polynesian Airlines' fleet of plane has failed to arrive"), and we'd always remembered our visit as the happiest of accidents.
The capital, Nukualofa, with its low wooden buildings and arcades and unpaved streets, looked like the sort of place John Wayne might mosey into after a cattle drive, except that on the edge of town, facing the harbor, there was what appeared to be a large Victorian summer-house: the royal palace.
Our concerns that Tonga might have gone the way of Fiji evaporated, though, when we learned that the International Dateline was still probably where we should stay in Nukualofa, even though the hotel, which is run by the government, apparently is not keen on renovating between coronations.

The protest in Nuku´alofa, the biggest ever in Tonga´s history, followed a move by the country´s sole power company, owned by the heir to the throne Crown Prince Tupouto´a, to raise electricity prices.
The protest, ostensibly against power prices under his eldest son's electricity monopoly, saw marchers carry banners demanding democracy and calling for King Taufa'ahau Tupou IV to give up his absolute powers and become a ceremonial figure.
Between 10,000 and 20,000 people took part in the march in Nuku'alofa, capital of a country with a population of about 100,000, radio reports and witnesses said.
