History

---

Before World War II, Dededo Village was located at the bottom of the Macheche Hill. Dededo grew into a major village after World War II when the U.S. Navy constructed housing for Guamanians displaced by the war and for laborers coming from off-island to help in Guam's development.

Following Typhoon Karen in 1962, the Kaiser subdivision in Dededo was constructed for island residents displaced by the storm. Further housing subdivisions were constructed increasing the village's population.
