Editor's note: The U.S. territory of Guam is comprised of 19 villages, many with their own distinct character, history and points of interest. and Guampedia have joined forces to present this weekly feature on each of them in the hopes that it will help our readers get out – and get to know – our gracious hosts. To learn more about Guam's people, history, culture and places, visit: guampedia.com Always known as a place for fishing, the village's original name, Malesso', derives from the Chamorro word lesso', a juvenile stage in the growth of rabbit fish.
