Until 12.VI.1702 AN this island was under the sovereignty of Batavia as a lordship in its own right, but transferred to Hurmu and incorporated as a municipality (under the name Antonia) of the District of the Warring Islands.
In 1703, the island's name was formally changed to Antonia Island reflecting popular usage since the annexation into Hurmu.
The capital is Antonia.
