Mtwara (Portuguese: Montewara) is the capital city of Mtwara Region in
southeastern Tanzania. In the 1940s, it was planned and constructed as
the export facility for the disastrous Tanganyika groundnut scheme, but
was somewhat neglected when the scheme was abandoned in 1951. The city
is spread out over a large area planned to accommodate up to 200,000
people. The present population is around 108000. As part of the
development associated with the failed Tanganyika groundnut scheme,
Mtwara features a deep-water port that can accommodate ocean-going
vessels, and a range of large municipal buildings, including a post
office. Recent improvements in the port made it possible for big
container ships to berth there.
