Kloulklubed's other notable feature is the gravesites of Palau's first president and first Chief Justice, Haruo Remeliik and Mamoru Nakamura. Remeliik was assassinated in 1985, while Nakamura died of a heart attack in 1992. Both were natives of Peleliu, and their graves are located close to the centre of the village, near the Governor's office.
