Yigo (pronounced dzi-go) (Chamorro: Yigu) is the northern most village of the American Island of Guam and is the site of Andersen Air Force Base. The municipality of Yigo is larger than any other on the island. Yigo is historically one of Guam's richest farming areas. During World War II, the village was the site of a concentration camp during Japanese occupation of the island. It was also the site of the island's final battle during the war. Yigo's South Pacific Memorial Park is dedicated to the many Japanese soldiers who died in the battle.
