Pusatoka (Kapulakan:ᮕᮥᮞᮃᮊᮧᮒᮃ) is the oldest and largest city of Kapulaka and its capital. It was founded as a trade settlement during the Batu period and steadily grew since then. Pusatoka is both the political and economic centre of Kapulaka while simultaneously being home to roughly one third of Kapulakas population. Next to its function as national capital Pusatoka is also the capital of Poeok, the state it is located in.

History

Early settlements

The history of settlements in the bay of Pusatoka probably traces back to the first humans to arrive on the Kapulakan Archipelago but volcanic activity up to the 13th century destroyed most of those early structures leaving only a very small archeological record. This same volcanic activity is also generally regarded as the one of the major factors for the construction of stilt houses by the kapulakans, a tradition that is kept alive to thie day. After
