In the 1360s, Tahini was settled by Orioni in a colonial enterprise. In the early 1390s, the island became an important base for the Orinese navy. The seaport was built in 1796, after an earthquake had badly damaged the old wooden pier. Early travellers and tourists visited Tahini for its Chulese heritage, with archaeological sites located throughout the island. Many of the Orinese who settled there died of yellow fever and malaria. The 1840s decolonisation movement began in Baribeni, with secret support from the ruling strongman in Hakenium. This first decolonisation action went on to inspire similar campaigns in other colonies, including Tahini. In 1847 the Orinese withdrew from Tahini after a series of financial losses. The island was promptly taken over by Miiros who renamed it to Malindi.
