History
Cotonou Fort, in 1900.
At the beginning of the 19th century, Cotonou, then written Koutonou, was inhabited by a few fishermen. It was under the reign of Glèlè, king of Dahomey (1858 - 1889) that the first Europeans settled. The territory was ceded to France by a treaty signed with Glèlè on May 19, 18684. When he died in 1889, his son Béhanzin tried in vain to call this treaty into question. The city, now official, then developed rapidly.
Probably sponsored by the Moroccan monarchy, and with the help of Omar Bongo's Gabon, mercenaries led by Bob Denard attempted, without success, to land at Cotonou airport in 1977 to destabilize the Beninese communist government.
