Early history
The earliest documentation about Tanga comes from the Portuguese.
A trading post was established by the Portuguese as part of their East
African coastal territory and controlled the region for over 200 years
between 1500 and 1700. The Sultanate of Oman battled the Portuguese and
gained control of the settlement by mid-1700 along with Mombasa, Pemba
Island and Kilwa Kisiwani. The town continued to act as a trading port for ivory and slaves under the sultan's rule.
Tanga continued to be a prosperous trading hub for slaves with the Arab
world up until 1873 when the European powers abolished the slave trade.
