History of Tangier
Tangier’s strategic position, which provides access to both the Mediterranean and the Atlantic, has long made it highly desirable, and it has changed hands many times through the ages.
The city was first occupied by ancient Phoenician, Roman and Arab conquerors. Seized by the Portuguese in the 15th century, it was given to England as part of a royal dowry in the 17th century. The arrival of the French in Tangier in 1912 made way for ongoing ownership disputes between England and France. These disputes were terminated by the establishment of international governance of the city in 1923. Tangier’s international city status drew people from all over the world, and from all walks of life.
Following the achievement of Moroccan independence from France in 1956, Tangier was incorporated into the Moroccan state. It remains notable for its miscellaneous character today.
