Usagara, Administrative ward in Tanga City, Tanzania
Usagara is an administrative ward in Tanga City situated between the Central, Mzingani, and Makorora districts. The area contains two schools and provides basic services to the residents who live within its boundaries.
The area grew significantly during German colonial rule starting in 1885 when Tanga became a center for sisal and tea production. This period shaped the economic foundation of the city.
The ward contains five distinct neighborhoods and maintains local government offices including a police station and tribunal under Tanzania's ward system.
The ward is easily accessible through nearby districts and sits within the city proper. Getting around by using local transport options works well for moving between different parts of the area.
The ward connects to surrounding districts Ngamiani Kusini, Ngamiani Kati, and Ngamiani Kaskazini, forming part of Tanzania's second largest port city.
