Etymology
The Malagasy name Antsirabe translates into "the place of much salt". The city has the nicknames ville d'eau ('city of water' in French) and visy gasy or le Vichy malgache ('the Malagasy Vichy' in Malagasy and French respectively), referring to the presence of multiple thermal springs in the area.
History
The area where Antsirabe is found today was part of the Kingdom of Andrantsay which existed from the early 1600s until it was incorporated into the Imerina kingdom in the early 1800s. The area was a farming region, with production of rice, vegetables and fruit.
The first Norwegian missionaries arrived in 1868. Limestone and sulphur were exploited in the area at this time.
In addition to primary schooling the town offers secondary education at both junior and senior levels. The town has a permanent court and hospital.
There is a technical & professional Lycee in Ambanja, and a school of agriculture.
The French international school is École Primaire Française d'Ambanja a.k.a. École primaire française Charles-Baudelaire.
