Kongo evolved in the late fourteenth century when a group of Bakongo (Kongo people) moved south of the Congo River into northern Angola, conquering the people they found there and establishing Mbanza Kongo (now spelled Mbanza Congo), the capital of the kingdom.

These are the Mbundu in central and southern Angola, the Bakongo, or Kongo, in the northwest, the Kimbundu in the north and center, and the Chokwe-Lunda in the east.
Thus, the culture of the Lunda, on the Kasai River in the east, affected the Chokwe to the extent that they are now known as the Lunda-Chokwe; similarly, the Kongo, at the time of their migration into northern Angola, put their stamp on the preexisting local chiefdoms.
In addition, the Jaga overran the area after they had devastated the Kongo, and in the middle of the 17th century, Luanda, founded by the Portuguese in 1575, was temporarily taken by the Dutch.
