American Equatorial Islands
Howland Island, Baker Island, and Jarvis Island are unincorporated U.S. territories. Jarvis is associated with the Line Islands geographically; Howland and Baker are well to the west of that group.
"In March, 1935, the first colonization expedition to the American Equatorial Islands set out from Honolulu aboard the Coast Guard cutter Itasca."[1]
