The Angoche Sultanate was established in 1485 along an archipelago off the Northern Mozambique coastline. Centered on the cities of Angoche and Moma, the Sultanate also had a number of vassal territories surrounding them.[1] They were finally removed from power by the Portuguese colonial government in 1910.[2]
