Loango (can also be written as Luango, Lwango, Luangu, Lwangu, Luaangu or Lwaangu) is a town of the Republic of the Congo.

Since 2011 it has been the capital of the Kouilou Department and of the new Loango District.[1]

Location

Loango lies on the south coast of the Loango Bay, to the southwest of Diosso, a few kilometers north of the city of Pointe-Noire.[2]

History

City of Loango in 1747

Diosso was the former capital of the Kingdom of Loango and home to its rulers' mausoleum.[3] Roman Catholic missionaries were active in Diosso, which had a royal palace.[4] The port of Loango was formerly a major slavery port, but the site has now been abandoned and few traces remain.[5]

The first radiotelegraph link in the tropics, between Brazzaville and Loango, was created around 1910 using techniques developed by Joseph Bethenod, chief engineer of the Société française radio-électrique (SFR).[6]
