Porto-Novo (also known as Hogbonou and Adjacé) is the official capital of the West African nation of Benin, and was the capital of French Dahomey. The commune covers an area of 110 square kilometres (42sqmi) and as of 2002 had a population of 223,552 people.
The capital's name Porto-Novo is of Portuguese origin, meaning "New Port". It was originally developed as a port for the slave trade, an important part of many European Empires at the time including the Portuguese Empire.
Porto-Novo is a port on an inlet of the Gulf of Guinea, in the southeastern portion of the country. It is Benin's second-largest city, and although Porto-Novo is the official capital, where the national legislature sits, the larger city of Cotonou is the seat of government, where most of the government buildings are situated and government departments operate. The region around Porto-Novo produces palm oil, cotton and kapok. Petroleum was discovered off the coast of the city in the 1990s, and has become an important export.
Porto Novo is a concelho (municipality) of Cape Verde. Situated in the southern part of the island of Santo Antão, it covers 72% of the island area, and is home to 41% of its population, the municipality is the second largest and the seventh most populated in Cape Verde. Its popuation at the 2010 census was 17,906, some read as 18,028. Its capital is the town Porto Novo. The municipality consists of two freguesias (civil parishes):
Its highest point, which is also the highest point of the entire island, is Topo da Coroa, elevation 1,979 m.
Demography
History
The municipality Porto Novo was created in 1971 when the older Municipality of Santo Antão was redivided in 3 municipalities: Ribeira Grande, Paul and Porto Novo.
Economy
Agriculture is the main productivity of the western and northwestern parts, urban jobs especially at the ports are the main economy of the eastern part. Pozzolano is the main industry of Port Novo founded in several areas ane are used for home bricks
Porto Novo is a town in the island of Santo Antão, in Cape Verde. It constitutes the seat of the Porto Novo municipality. It is situated on the south coast of the island, opposite the island São Vicente. At the 2010 census, the town had 9,310 inhabitants, which makes it the most populous town of the island.
The city was once called Carvoeiros, and it gradually became the largest urban settlement of the island, and has the main harbor of the island for commercial exchanges.
Cape Verde/ˌkeɪpˈvɜːrd/ or Cabo Verde/kɑːboʊˈvɜːrdeɪ/, /kæ-/ (Portuguese:Cabo Verde, pronounced:[ˈkabu ˈveɾdɨ]), officially the Republic of Cabo Verde, is an island country spanning an archipelago of 10 volcanic islands in the central Atlantic Ocean. Located 570 kilometres (350mi) off the coast of Western Africa, the islands cover a combined area of slightly over 4,000 square kilometres (1,500sqmi).
The Cape Verde archipelago was uninhabited until the 15th century, when Portuguese explorers discovered and colonized the islands, establishing the first European settlement in the tropics. Ideally located for the Atlantic slave trade, the islands grew prosperous throughout the 16th and 17th centuries, attracting merchants, privateers, and pirates. The end of slavery in the 19th century led to economic decline and emigration, although Cape Verde gradually recovered as an important commercial center and stopover for shipping routes. Incorporated as an overseas department of Portugal in 1951, the islands continued to agitate for independence, which was peacefully achieved in 1975.
Cape Verde was a colony of the Portuguese Empire from the initial settlement of the Cape Verde Islands in 1462 until the independence of Cape Verde in 1975.
Prior to its settlement by the Portuguese, Cape Verde was uninhabited.
