Kisangani, Port city in Tshopo Province, Democratic Republic of the Congo
Kisangani extends across 1,910 square kilometers along the Congo River, marking the farthest navigable point upstream at 2,100 kilometers from the river mouth.
Henry Morton Stanley established Stanley Falls Station in 1883, initiating European settlement in the region and transforming it into a commercial center.
The University of Kisangani operates eight academic faculties, including Arts, Law, Economics, Social Sciences, Sciences, Psychology, and Medicine, serving the northeastern region.
The Kisangani Airport connects domestic and international flights, providing transportation services to hotels and maintaining regular flight schedules for multiple airlines.
The name changed from Stanleyville to Kisangani in 1966, deriving from the Swahili interpretation of Boyoma, meaning City on the Island.
