CHINDE

This article appears in Volume V06, Page 232 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: CHA-CHR
CHINDE , a town of Portuguese
East
  Africa,
chief
  port for the Zambezi valley and British Central Africa, at the mouth of the Chinde branch of the Zambezi, in 18 4o' S., 36 30' E. Pop. (1907) 2790, of whom 218 were Europeans. Large steamers are unable to
cross
  the bar, over which the depth of water varies from so to 18 ft. Chinde owes its existence to the discovery in 1889 that the branch of the river on the banks of which it is built is navigable from the ocean (see ZAMBEZI). The Portuguese in 1891 granted on lease for 99 years an area of 5 acressubsequently increased to 25to the British government, on which goods in transit to British possessions could be stored duty free. This
block
  of land is known as the British Concession, or British Chinde. The prosperity of the town largely depends on the transit
trade
  with Nyasaland and North
East
  Rhodesia. There is also a considerable export from Portuguese districts,
sugar
 ,
cotton
  and ground nuts being largely cultivated in the Zambezi valley, and gold and copper mines worked.
