Cabinda, Oil port city in northern Angola
Located on the Atlantic coast, Cabinda stands at the mouth of the Bele River, separated from mainland Angola by the Democratic Republic of Congo.
The Portuguese established Cabinda in 1883 after signing the Treaty of Simulambuco, making it a departure point for slave trade to Brazil.
The regional language Ibinda continues to be widely spoken among residents, alongside Portuguese, reflecting the local heritage of the Bakamas do Tchizo.
The city contains three main districts: central Cabinda with 88 percent of inhabitants, Malembo, and Tando-Zinze, connected by a network of roads.
The offshore petroleum reserves near Cabinda generate approximately 700,000 barrels of crude oil per day, forming a substantial portion of Angola's production.
