Indigenous people
The mainland of Herendoland and its surrounding islands were created as a result of a split from Australia during the early era. Until the 17th century, the islands were almost completely uninhabited, although indigenous tribes such as Indigenous Australians and Māoris had first settled there around 55,000 years ago.

European colonisation
At the turn of the 17th century, waves of European exploration of Oceania began. Herendoland was first sighted in 1642 by Dutch explorer during his voyage to Australia. Following the wreck of the VOC’s  in 1629, the Portuguese ordered the establishment of a trading post along the eastern coast of Herendoland in November 1631, on the present-day site of Cercadas.

The Dutch saw the Portuguese colonization as a threat and subsequently launched an invasion in the midst of the, however they were repelled by the Portuguese numerous times towards the end of the war in 1663. From then on, the Portuguese colony of Herendoland flourished, eventually claiming the entire southern part of the mainland and establishing a second trading post in Portimao.

In 1817, the British established a settlement in Meidelo, effectively forming the colony of North Herendoland. The claim eventually extended to the remaining unoccupied parts of the mainland in the north, alongside the creation of a border between the two colonies.

Regions and territories
Herendoland is divided into three regions, Elizabeth Region (LZB), East Cercadas Region (ECD) and the South Turiz Region (STZ), as well as one island autonomous territory, Portimao Territory (PTM).
