Luanda
Luanda is the capital and the largest city of Angola. Its former name was Loanda. It is a main seaport of the country located on the Atlantic Ocean. About 3 million (1995) people are living in there.
It is a center of manufacturing, but very destroyed because of a long civil war.
It was found by Portuguese in 1575 as SÃ$o Paulo de Luanda and has been the administrative center of Angola since 1627 (except for 1640â€'1648). When Angola got independence in 1975, it became the capital of Angola.
