Antananarivo
means "The City of a Thousand" (arivo=thousand). In the
colonial period and for some years after independence the spelling
Tananarive was used.
Antananarivo, population 802,000 (1997), is the
capital of Madagascar, in Antananarivo
province. It's situated in the centre of the island, on a mostly
inaccessible rocky height 5000 ft. above the sea-level. It is Madagascar's
largest city and is its administrative, communications, and economic
center. The city manufactures include food products, cigarettes,
and textiles. Antananarivo was founded about 1625. In 1797 it was
made the capital of the Merina kings. The conquests of King Radama
I made Antananarivo the capital of almost all of Madagascar. The
city was captured by the French in 1895 and incorporated into their
Madagascar protectorate. Antananarivo is home of the University
of Madagascar and the Collège Rural d'Ambatobe.
Madagascar is an island
nation in the Indian Ocean, off the eastern coast of Africa. Madagascar
