The island has a historical and political importance beyond its size. A disproportionate number of the leaders of Fiji have been natives of Bau. With the aid of Charles Savage, who brought firearms to Bau Island, the Bauan people quickly established themselves as an undefeatable military force. With that unmatched power, [[Seru Epenisa Cakobau]] was able to unite all of Fiji's disparate tribes under his authority.
