Agana Heights
Home » Guam » Guam - Major Cities and Regions » Agana HeightsAgana Hights has, for as long as the island has been in existence, been an important area in Guam. This was obvious even to those who came into Guam; thus before the second World War, the US military was located in the area. The Japanese military followed suit when they came; after the war post-war camps stayed. Now a significant hospital stands where many buildings were destroyed.
Agana Heights is a favorite locale for residents of Guam and visitors. It lies above the village of Hagatna on a plateau and near Agana Bay. You can even see most of the bay and Central Guam from there. Even the hills in Agana Heights offer unaffected beauty and the “old spirits” that many villages believe still live in the untouched bamboo and trees. It is also one of the primary residential areas on Guam. The Government House, the Out Lady of the Blessed Sacrament church, the first Baptist church on Guam, and other important building are located in Agana heights. They even have a baseball field (one of their favorite hobbies), roller-skating rink, gym, and community center. It’s no wonder that people love Agana Heights.
