The city of Dakar grew up around a French fort and was founded in 1857, when residents came from the island of Goree. She grew as a port and around the railway line to Saint-Louist. 1895 Dakar replaced Saint-Louis as the capital of French West Africa.
- Pros:Good food and some nice architecture
- Cons:To many salesman in the street, pickpockets at the markets
