Pangani

Pangani is a city in northeast Tanzania that lies 45 km south of Tanga, on the mouth of the Pangani River. it's far the headquarters of Pangani District. even though archaeologists have discovered the stays of small 15th century settlements at the bluffs just north of Pangani, the contemporary metropolis came to prominence within the 19th century, whilst, below nominal Zanzibari rule, it was a primary terminus of caravan routes to the deep interior. From the 1860s onward townspeople established big plantations of sugar and coconut in Mauya, alongside the banks of the river simply west of city.

The plantations have been worked via slave hard work, and Pangani also became an crucial middle of the slave exchange, shipping captives taken within the wars attendant on the fall apart of the Shambaa nation in the Usambara mountains to the plantations of Pemba and Zanzibar. After the Sultan of Zanzibar signed treaties with notable Britain outlawing the sea-going trade in slaves in 1873, Pangani have become a center for smuggling slaves across the slender channel to Pemba, in evasion of British warships.
