Portuguese Gold Coast

Portuguese Gold Coast: The Portuguese Gold Coast was a Portuguese colony on the West African Gold Coast (present day Ghana) on the Gulf of Guinea.

History

The Portuguese established the following settlements on the Gold Coast from January 21, 1482:

Fort São Jorge da Mina de Ouro, modern Elmina: January 21 1482 – August 28–9 1637; this became the capital

Fort de Santo António de Axim, modern Axim: 1486 – February 1642

Fort São Francisco Xavier, modern Osu: 1640–1642

Fort São Sebastião, modern Shama: 1526–1637.

On August 29 1637 the Dutch occupied São Jorge da Mina. On January 9 1642 the whole colony was ceded to the Dutch, who made it part of their Dutch Gold Coast colony.
