Bengo Province, Administrative province in northern Angola
Description
Bengo Province is an administrative region in northern Angola divided into six municipalities, with rivers flowing toward the Atlantic coast. The land includes river deltas, agricultural areas, and settlements spread across the territory.
History
The region was created in 1980 when Angola's government reorganized and split the original Luanda Province into two parts. This division allowed for more focused administrative attention to the northern areas.
Culture
Fishing practices shape daily life in the coastal communities, where local families work with boats and nets following methods passed down through generations.
Practical
The provincial capital of Caxito connects to Luanda via main highways, making travel between the two centers straightforward. Most visitors enter the region using these road routes.
