LOANGO

This article appears in Volume V16, Page 835 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: LEO-LOB
LOANGO , a region on the west
coast
  of Africa, extending from the mouth of the Congo river in 6 S. northwards through about two degrees. At one time included in the " kingdom of Congo " (see
ANGOLA
 , History), Loango became independent about the close of_the 16th century, and was still of considerable importance in the middle of the 18th century. Buali, the
capital
 , was situated on the banks of a small river not far from the port of Loango, where were several European " factories." The country afterwards became divided into a large number of
petty
  states, while Portugal and France exercised an intermittent sovereignty over the
coast
 . Here the slave
trade
  was longer maintained than anywhere else on the West
African
  seaboard; since its extirpation, palm oil and india-rubber have been the main objects of commerce. The Loango coast is now divided between French Congo and the Portuguese
district
  of Kabinda (see those articles). The natives, mainly members of the Ba-Kongo group of Bantu negroes, and often called Ba-Fiot, are in general well-built, strongly dolichocephalous and very thick of skull, the skin of various shades of warm brown with the faintest suggestion of purple. Baldness is unknown, and many of the men
wear
  beards.
Physical
  deformity is extremely rare. In religious beliefs and in the use of fetishes they resemble the negroes of Upper
Guinea
 .
