In 1503, Mayotte was observed and named (firstly <i>Espirito Santo</i>) by Portuguese explorers, but not colonized. The island has known several eras of wealth (especially during the 11th century at Acoua or between 9th and 12th centuries at Dembéni), being an important part of the <a href="/wiki/Swahili_coast" title="Swahili coast">Swahili coast</a> culture. However, its sister island Anjouan was preferred by international traders due to its better suitability to large boats, and, for a long time, Mayotte remained poorly developed compared to the three other Comoros islands, often being targeted by pirates and Malagasy or Comorian raids. </p><p>In the early 19th century, Mayotte was controlled by a mercantile family that claimed <a href="/wiki/Oman" title="Oman">Omani</a> origins.

However in 1836, it regained its independence under a last local Sultan. Andriantsoly reconquered the island in 1836, but his depopulated and unfortified island was in a weak position towards the sultans of Comoros, Malagasy kings, and pirates. Looking for the help of a powerful ally, he began to negotiate with the French, installed in the nearby Malagasy island of Nosy Bé in 1840. </p><p>Mayotte was purchased by France in 1841, and integrated to the Crown. In the immediate aftermath, slavery was abolished and laborers were imported to the area to work in fields and plantations. The abolition of slavery led to several slave-owning elites leaving Mayotte as their authority was undermined. However, the freed slaves were often subsequently forced to work under harsher conditions for the French government or colonists in their plantations. Additionally, many of the imported laborers were victims of the slave trade.<sup id="cite_ref-22" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-22"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>22<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p><p>Mayotte therefore became a French island, but it remained an island with a sparse population due to decades of wars, as well as by the exodus of former elites and some of their slaves: most of the cities were abandoned, and nature regained its rights over the old plantations. The French administration therefore tried to repopulate the island, recalling first of all the Mayotte exiles or refugees in the region (Comoros, Madagascar), proposing the former exiled masters return in exchange for compensation, then by inviting wealthy Anjouan families to come and set up trade. France launched some first major works, such as the realization in 1848 of the Boulevard des Crabes connecting the rock of Dzaoudzi to Pamandzi and the rest of Petite-Terre. </p><p>As it had done in the West Indies and <a href="/wiki/R%C3%A9union" title="Réunion">Réunion</a>, the French government planned to make Mayotte a sugar island: despite the steep slopes, large plantations were developed, 17 sugar factories were built and hundreds of foreign workers (mainly African, in particular Mozambic Makwas) hired from 1851 onwards. However, production remained mediocre, and the sugar crisis of 1883–1885 quickly led to the end of this crop in Mayotte (which had just reached its peak of production), leaving only a few factory ruins, some of which are still visible now. The last sugar plant to be closed was Dzoumogné in 1955: the best preserved, and now heritage, is Soulou, in the west of the island. </p><p>At the <a href="/wiki/Berlin_conference" class="mw-redirect" title="Berlin conference">Berlin conference</a> in 1885, France took control over the whole Comoros archipelago, which was actually already ruled by French traders; the colony took the name of "Mayotte and Dependencies". </p><p>In 1898, two cyclones razed the island to the ground, and a smallpox epidemic decimated the survivors.

Its lagoon is the largest (1,500 km<sup>2</sup> (580 sq mi)) and deepest in this part of the world (and one of the largest on the planet), and its double barrier reef is a biological curiosity that has only a dozen occurrences on our planet, hosting a great diversity of animals, including large cetaceans, which is extremely rare. </p><p>Some tourist activities include: </p> <ul><li>Hiking to the extinct volcano Dziani Dzaha of Petite-Terre and its lake Dziani;</li> <li>Hiking to Mount Combani and Mount Choungui;</li> <li>Trek to the governor's house;</li> <li>Observation of the maki lemurs of the M'Bouzy islet;</li> <li>Diving and snorkelling on the coral reef among tropical fish in the "Passe en S", in N'Gouja, Saziley or on the outer barrier;</li> <li>The lagoon allows the observation of green and hawksbill turtles (which come to lay their eggs on deserted beaches), dolphins (common long-billed, spotted, and tursiops in particular), and whales and their calves (which give birth there);</li> <li>Nautical activities or relaxation on the many beaches of Mayotte;</li> <li>Swimming and visits to the isolated beaches of the northern and southern white sand islets;</li> <li>Bivouacs on the deserted islands;</li> <li>The Soulou waterfall, on the beach of the same name, is a natural curiosity;</li> <li>The Badamiers mudflat, in Petite-Terre, is a marsh rich in biodiversity and landscapes;</li> <li>The wrecks like that of the sailing schooner <i>Dwyn Wen</i> in front of the Badamiers (two masts of which are still standing out of the water);</li> <li>The tour of the island by microlight allows you to observe the reefs from the sky;</li> <li>The museum of Mayotte, the MuMa at Dzaoudzi, labeled Musée de France.</li></ul> <div class="mw-heading
