 Luanda History   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-03)
Prior to the arrival of the Portuguese, the island of what today is part of the capital city Luanda was known among the native African population as Loanda, meaning "flat land." The island had no mountains and was comprised only of sand that shifted with the tides and the flow of the nearby Kwanza river.
Native villages, called Libatas, scattered the area and were ruled by a governor (a subject of the King of Congo) who administered justice and oversaw the collection of zimbros, the cowrie shells that were the principal currency of the kingdom of the Congo.
Loanda and the Sao Paulo settlement offered a sheltered port in an excellent spot very close to the river Kwanza, the route to the mines.

Prior to the arrival of the Portuguese, the island of what today is part of Luanda was known among the native African population as Loanda, meaning "flat land" whose inhabitants lived in small villages known as "libatas."

In the history of Angola we find that the famous queen Donna Anna de Souza came from the vicinity, as embassadress from her brother, Gola Bandy, King of the Jinga, to Loanda, in 1621, to sue for peace, and astonished the governor by the readiness of her answers.
The Jinga paid him tribute annually in cowries, which were found on the island that shelters Loanda harbor, and, on refusing to continue payment, the King of Congo gave over the island to the Portuguese, and thus their dominion commenced in this quarter.

Some of the governors of Loanda, the capital of this, the kingdom of Angola, have insisted on the observance of a law which, from motives of humanity, forbids the Portuguese themselves from passing beyond the boundary.
