Niamey

Niamey is the capital and largest city of Niger. It has a population of 830,000.

Niamey was probably founded in the 1700s, but was of little importance to most of the country until the french developed a colonial post in the 1890s. This rapidly grew into an important centre. It became the capital of Niger in 1926.

It was the host of the Jeux de la Francophonie in 2005.
