Malabo is a City of Many Features
Malabo was founded by the British in 1827, who leased the island from Spain. It was first named Port Clarence and was used as a naval station in the effort to stop the slave trade. Many of those slaves still live there now and are called Fernandinos. They make up a separate ethnic group speaking their own dialect.
When the island went back to complete Spanish control, Malabo was renamed Santa Isabel. It was chosen to replace the mainland city of Bata as the capital of the country in 1969, and was renamed Malabo in 1973 as part of the country's campaign to replace European place names with "authentic" African ones.
