After thirteen years, the Nauruan population reached 1,500 to much jubilation and celebrations. The first Angam Baby, Eidagaruwo, was born on October 26, 1932. Her name expresses the feeling of “reaching home” or “attaining a goal”; it was given to her by the Administrator and Chiefs.<ref name="Eidagaruwo">{{cite web |title=ANGAM Day - Nauru, National Day |url=https://corporate.southpacificislands.travel/event/angam-day-nauru-national-day/ |website=Pacific Tourism Organisation |access-date=February 7, 2021}}</ref> That night large bonfires were lit on the beach on every district and chiefs judged who had the biggest bonfire. [[Aiwo District]] had the largest bonfire with blue flames, made by stoking the fire with copper wire.<ref name="Eidagaruwo"/>

It turned out there was to be more than one Angam. During the [[Japan]]ese occupation of Nauru and other Pacific territories during [[World War II]], 1,201 Nauruans were evacuated to [[Chuuk Lagoon|Truk]] (now [[Chuuk State|Chuuk]]). Of the 1,201 evacuees to Truk only 737 returned after the [[war]], and of the about 600 left behind on Nauru, a total of around 400 survived.

The Angam girl, Eidegenegen Eidagaruwo, did not make it back from Truk as she had died of [[malnutrition]] and [[yaws]] like most of the other Nauruans who had died in Truk.
