History
[edit | edit source]The French established a fort at Senoudebou in 1845, and reinforced it to defend against the expansion of the Toucouleur Empire.[1] In October 1856, El Hajj Umar Tall's intelligence services tried unsuccessfully to foment a rebellion inside the fort.[1]
In 1846, Capt. Parent pioneered archaeological digs in the region, until then little studied.[2]
The French fort at Senoudebou was closed in 1862.[3]
