James Cook did not "discover" Tonga, but he first visited the islands in 1773, whilst on his second voyage.
Tonga was discovered by two unnamed Dutch explorers in 1616. However, Dutch trader/explorer Abel Tasman is often given the credit, as he was the first known European to land there, doing so in 1643.
