The islands have mangroves interspersed with marshes, coconut trees or dispersed bushy vegetation along the coast.

The Nicobar islands existed on a major trade route connecting India to the South East Asia and had much contact with the outside world for centuries.

The European colonization on the islands began when settlers from the Danish East India Company arrived in the Nicobar Islands on 12 December 1755.

During the Second World War, the islands were invaded by the Japanese as a part of their attack on the allies in 1942. Japanese captured Port Blair on 23 March 1942 and established control over the island.
