Bagamoyo
Town
was recently designated as Tanzania’s seventh
world heritage site and is the oldest town in Tanzania.
Bagamoyo's history has been influenced by Arab and
Indian traders, the German colonial government and
Christian missionaries. Although Bagamoyo is no longer
the busy port city that it once was, Tanzania’s
Department of Antiquities is working to revitalize
the town and maintain the dozens of ruins in and around
Bagamoyo.
Bagamoyo was the major
slave trading post in East Africa. Bagamoyo, which
means ‘lay down your heart’ in Swahili,
was probably given this name because Bagamoyo was
the last place the slaves would stay in Tanzania before
being shipped off to foreign lands. Although the slave
trade officially ended in 1873, slaves continued to
be sold and traded in Bagamoyo through the end of
the nineteenth century.
During the slave trade,
it was not uncommon to see hundreds of slaves walking
through the streets of Bagamoyo chained together by
the neck. Slaves were collected from the interior
by capture, purchase or trade and then shipped to
Zanzibar or Arab countries.
