BIRTH OF THE CITY
Founded in 1857 by Naval Captain Protet, Commander-in-chief in Goree, Dakar was the only real city in French Black Africa until 1939.
Yet a Lebou village had been situated there for a long time.
The Island of Goree became too exiguous on account of the commercial development, so, a merchant, Jaubert, who exported groundnuts set up his firm on the Cap Vert Peninsula around 1846 (not far from the present Independence Square, formerly named Protet Square) .


In 1846 a Catholic mission was established where the present City Hall stands .
After the army, previously stationed in Gorée was transferred to Dakar, the city experienced a slow development in spite of the efforts of Major Pinet-Laprade (later promoted to the rank of Colonel in the Engineers Branch ) who laid out the outline drawings of a city in 1862, with right angled streets on either side of the present Independence Square.
In 1866, Brazil-line ships benefited by the installations and facilities of the harbour for the first time.
