History Of Casablanca
The history of the city of Casablanca in Morocco has been one of many political and cultural changes. At different times it has been governed by Berber, Roman, Arab, Portuguese, Spanish, French, British, and Moroccan regimes. It has had an important position in the region as a port city, making it valuable to a series of conquerors during its early history. The original Berber name, ''Anfa'' (meaning: "hill" in English), was used by the locals until the earthquake of 1755 destroyed the city. When Sultan Mohammed ben Abdallah rebuilt the city's medina, he gave it the name "''ad-Dār al-Bayḍāʾ''" () a literal translation of ''Casablanca'' into Arabic. French forces occupied the city in 1907 and adopted the Spanish name, ''Casablanca''. The name ''Anfa'' now refers to an area within Casablanca, slightly West of the 18th century medina. Roman Anfa Leo Africanus defined Anfa as a city built by the Romans in his famous '' Descrittione dell’Africa'' (Description of Africa), wr ...
