Port Louis ||??Black River||island country in the Indian Ocean||Port LouisCapital of Mauritius
Port Louis was founded about 1736 by the French as a calling place for ships rounding the Cape of goodness Hope (South Africa) on the passage between Asia and Europe. British occupation of the island during the Napoleonic Wars (1800–15) was a strategic factor in securing control of the Indian Ocean, but the opening of the Suez Canal in 1869 resulted in the port being bypassed by shipping. Port activity increased during the closure of the Suez Canal (1967–75), and the harbour was modernized in the late 1970s. The city is the central collecting and clearing point for all imports and exports from Mauritius and its dependencies and is connected by road to the rest of the island. Sugar exports, once the mainstay of the economic system, take hold been superceded in importance by manufacturing (notably textiles) and services (notably tourism).
