- Note
- "Luangwa is a town in Zambia, at the confluence of the Luangwa and Zambezi Rivers, which was called Feira until 1964. It is headquarters of a district of the same name in Lusaka Province.
Feira was probably the first European settlement in Zambia, but the dates are not well documented. What is documented is that the Portuguese first settled on the opposite bank of the Luangwa at Zumbo in Mozambique around 1720, in order to trade with the Bwila people, and by 1820 some had settled in Feira. The town was abandoned again by 1856, when it was visited by the explorer David Livingstone and described as completely ruined. It was resettled in 1887 by John Harrison Clark, who lived there until 1895." - (en.wikipedia.org 23.09.2020) - Latitude
