It was founded circa 1610, when the Merina King <a href="/wiki/Andrianjaka" title="Andrianjaka">Andrianjaka</a> (1612–1630) expelled the <a href="/wiki/Vazimba" title="Vazimba">Vazimba</a> inhabitants of the village of <a href="/wiki/Twelve_sacred_hills_of_Imerina#Hill_of_Analamanga" title="Twelve sacred hills of Imerina">Analamanga</a>. Declaring it the site of his capital, Andrianjaka built a <a href="/wiki/Rova_(Madagascar)" title="Rova (Madagascar)">rova</a> (fortified royal dwelling) that expanded to become the <a href="/wiki/Rova_of_Antananarivo" title="Rova of Antananarivo">royal palaces</a> of the <a href="/wiki/Kingdom_of_Imerina" class="mw-redirect" title="Kingdom of Imerina">Kingdom of Imerina</a>. The city retained the name Analamanga until the reign of King <a href="/wiki/Andriamasinavalona" title="Andriamasinavalona">Andriamasinavalona</a> (1675–1710), who renamed it Antananarivo ("City of the Thousand") in honor of Andrianjaka's soldiers. The city served as the capital of the Kingdom of Imerina until 1710 when Imerina split into four warring quadrants. Antananarivo became the capital of the southern quadrant until 1794, when King <a href="/wiki/Andrianampoinimerina" title="Andrianampoinimerina">Andrianampoinimerina</a> of <a href="/wiki/Ambohimanga" title="Ambohimanga">Ambohimanga</a> captured the province and restored it as the capital of a united Kingdom of Imerina, also bringing neighboring ethnic groups under Merina control. These conquests continued under his son, <a href="/wiki/Radama_I" title="Radama I">Radama I</a>, who eventually controlled over two-thirds of the island, leading him to be considered the King of Madagascar by European diplomats. Antananarivo remained the island's capital after Madagascar was <a href="/wiki/French_Madagascar" title="French Madagascar">colonized by the French</a> in 1897, and after independence in 1960. The city is now managed by the Commune Urbaine d'Antananarivo (CUA) under the direction of its President of the <a href="/wiki/Special_delegation_(France)" title="Special delegation (France)">Special Delegation</a>, Ny Havana Andriamanjato, appointed in March 2014.

The Manjakamiadana royal palace is located at the summit of these hills and is visible from every part of the city and the surrounding hills. The Manjakamiadina was the largest structure within the rova of Antananarivo; its stone casing is the only remnant of the royal residences to survive a 1995 fire at the site. For 25 years, the roofless shell dominated the skyline; its west wall collapsed in 2004.<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTEFournet-Guérin2007297-45">[45]</a> In 2009, the stone casing had been fully restored and the building was re-roofed. It is illuminated at night. Conservation and reconstruction work at the site is ongoing.<a href="#cite_note-46">[46]</a> The city skyline is a jumble of colorful, historic houses and churches. More recent residential and commercial buildings and family rice fields occupy lower terrain throughout the capital. The Betsimitatatra and other rice fields surround the city.<a href="#cite_note-loveme-47">[47]</a> The city's neighborhoods emerge from historic ethnic, religious, and caste divisions. The assignment of certain neighborhoods to particular noble sub-castes under the Kingdom of Imerina established divisions; the highest-ranking nobles were typically assigned to neighborhoods closest to the royal palace and were required to live in higher elevation portions of the city.<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTEFournet-Guérin200712-48">[48]</a> During and after French colonization, the expansion of the city continued to reflect these divisions. Today, the haute ville is mainly residential and viewed as a prestigious area in which to live; many of the city's wealthiest and most influential Malagasy families live there.<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTEFournet-Guérin200712-48">[48]</a> The part of la haute closest to the Rova contains much of the city's pre-colonial heritage and is considered it's historic part.<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTEFournet-Guérin200716-49">[49]</a> It includes the royal palace, Andafiavaratra Palace—the former residence of Prime Minister Rainilaiarivony, Andohalo—the principal town square until 1897, a cathedral near Andohalo built to commemorate early Malagasy Christian martyrs, the city's most intact historic entrance gate and the 19th-century houses of Merina nobles.<a href="#cite_note-loveme-47">[47]</a> Under the Kingdom of Madagascar, the commoner class (hova) settled at the periphery of the noble districts,<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTEFournet-Guérin200712-48">[48]</a> gradually spreading along the slopes of the lower hills during the late 19th century. This ville moyenne became increasingly populous under French colonial authority, which targeted them for redesign and development. Today, the neighborhoods in the ville moyenne are densely populated and lively, containing residences, historic sites, and businesses. The neighborhood of Antaninarenina contains the historic Hôtel Colbert, numerous jewelers' shops and other luxury goods stores, and administrative offices. In addition to Antaninarenina, the principal neighborhoods of la ville moyenne are Ankadifotsy on the eastern hills and Ambatonakanga and Isoraka to the west, all of which are largely residential.<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTEFournet-Guérin200716-49">[49]</a> Isoraka has developed lively nightlife, with houses converted to upscale restaurants and inns. Isoraka also houses the tomb of Prime Minister Rainiharo (1833–1852), whose sons and later Prime Ministers <a href="/wiki/Rainivoninahitriniony" title="Rainivoninahitriniony">Rainivoninahitriniony</a> and Rainilaiarivony are buried with him.<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTENativelRajaonah2009126-50">[50]</a> Bordering these neighborhoods are the commercial areas of Besarety and Andravoahangy.<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTEFournet-Guérin200716-49">[49]</a> <figure class="mw-default-size mw-halign-left" typeof="mw:File/Thumb"><a href="/wiki/File:Zoma_Tananarive_(3201311570).jpg" class="mw-file-description"><img src="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/7/72/Zoma_Tananarive_%283201311570%29.jpg/220px-Zoma_Tananarive_%283201311570%29.jpg" decoding="async" width="220" height="220" class="mw-file-element" srcset="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/7/72/Zoma_Tananarive_%283201311570%29.jpg/330px-Zoma_Tananarive_%283201311570%29.jpg 1.5x, //upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/7/72/Zoma_Tananarive_%283201311570%29.jpg/440px-Zoma_Tananarive_%283201311570%29.jpg 2x" data-file-width="980" data-file-height="980" /></a><figcaption>The city's historic Zoma market, established by King <a href="/wiki/Andrianampoinimerina" title="Andrianampoinimerina">Andrianampoinimerina</a> (1787–1810), was discontinued in 1997.</figcaption></figure> The commercial center of town, Analakely, is located on the valley floor between these two ville moyenne hill ranges.<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTEFournet-Guérin200716-49">[49]</a> King Andrianampoinimerina established the city's first marketplace<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTEFournet-Guérin200734-20">[20]</a> on the grounds today occupied by the market's tile-roofed pavilions, constructed in the 1930s.<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTEFournet-Guérin2007297-45">[45]</a> Andrianampoinimerina decreed Friday (Zoma) as market day,<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTEFournet-Guérin200734-20">[20]</a> when merchants would erect stalls shaded with white parasols, which extended throughout the valley forming what has been called the largest open-air marketplace in the world.<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTEFournet-Guérin2007312-51">[51]</a> The market caused traffic congestion and safety hazards prompting government officials to divide and relocate the Friday merchants to several other districts in 1997.<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTEFournet-Guérin200779-52">[52]</a> The city's other main commercial and administrative neighborhoods, which spread out from Analakely and extend into the adjacent plain, were established by the French, who drained and filled in the extant rice fields and swampland to create much of the area's design and infrastructure. The Avenue de l'Indépendance runs from the gardens of Ambohijatovo south of the market pavilions, through Analakely to the city's railroad station at Soarano. To the west of Soarano lies the dense commercial district of Tsaralalana; it is the only district to be built on a grid<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTEFournet-Guérin200716-49">[49]</a> and is the center of the city's South Asian community.<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTEFournet-Guérin2007221-53">[53]</a> Behoririka, to the east of Soarano, is built around a lake of the same name and abuts the sprawling Andravoahangy district at the eastern edge of the city. Antanimena borders Soarano and Behoririka to the north. A tunnel built by the French in the early 20th century cuts through the hillside; it connects Ambohijatovo with Ambanidia and other residential areas in the south of the city.<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTEFournet-Guérin200716-49">[49]</a> Since pre-colonial times the lower classes, including those descended from the slave class (andevo) and rural migrants, have occupied the flood-prone lower districts bordering the Betsimitatatra rice fields to the west of the city.<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTEFournet-Guérin200712-48">[48]</a> This area is connected to Analakely by a tunnel constructed by the French in the early 20th century. The tunnel opens toward Lake Anosy and the national Supreme Court buildings and provides access to the residential neighborhood of Mahamasina and its stadium. The bordering neighborhood of Anosy was developed in the 1950s to house most of the national ministries and the Senate.<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTEFournet-Guérin200716-49">[49]</a> Anosy, the planned residential district of Soixante-Sept Hectares (often abbreviated to "67") and the neighborhood of Isotry are among the city's most densely populated, crime-ridden and impoverished neighborhoods.<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTEFournet-Guérin2007232-54">[54]</a> Approximately 40 percent of inhabitants with electricity in their homes in the ville basse obtain it illegally by splicing into city power lines.

Only family tombs were built from stone, an inert material viewed as appropriate to use for the dead. British missionaries introduced brick-making to the island in the 1820s, and French industrialist Jean Laborde used stone and brick to build his factories over the next few decades. It was not until the royal edict on construction materials was lifted in the 1860s that stone was used to encase the royal palace. Many aristocrats, inspired by the royal palace and the two-story, brick houses with wrapped verandas and divided interior spaces built by British missionaries, copied the British model for their own large homes in the haute ville. The model, known as <a href="/wiki/Architecture_of_Madagascar" title="Architecture of Madagascar">trano gasy</a> ("Malagasy house"), rapidly spread throughout the Central Highlands of Madagascar, where it remains the predominant house construction style.<a href="#cite_note-Testa,_J.P.-56">[56]</a> Since 1993, the Commune urbaine d'Antananarivo (CUA) has increasingly sought to protect and restore the city's architectural and cultural heritage. In 2005, CUA authorities partnered with the city planners of the <a href="/wiki/%C3%8Ele-de-France" title="Île-de-France">Île-de-France</a> to develop the Plan Vert – Plan Bleu strategy for creating a classification system for Zones de Protection du Patrimoine Architectural, Urbain et Paysager, areas of the city benefiting from legal protection and financial support for their historic and cultural heritage. The plan, which is being implemented by the Institut des Métiers de la Ville, prevents the destruction of historic buildings and other structures, and establishes construction codes that ensure new structures follow historic aesthetics. It also provides for awareness-raising campaigns in favor of historic preservation and undertakes projects to restore dilapidated historic buildings and sites. Under this plan, 19th-century sites, like the Ambatondrafandrana tribunal and the second residence of Rainilaiarivony, have been renovated.<a href="#cite_note-2012report-41">[41]</a> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Demographics">Demographics</h2>[<a href="/w/index.php?title=Antananarivo&action=edit&section=11" title="Edit section: Demographics">edit</a>]</div> Antananarivo has been the largest city on the island since at least the late 18th century, when its population was estimated at 15,000.<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTEAppiahGates2010114-31">[31]</a> By 1810, the population had grown to 80,000, before declining dramatically between 1829 and 1842 during the reigns of Radama I and especially Ranavalona I.

Access to land is guaranteed and protected by law for every resident of the city. The CUA manages requests to lease or purchase land, but demand dramatically outstrips supply, and much of the unallocated land fails to meet the requisite criteria for parceling, such as land where floodwater runoff is diverted. Much of this marginal land has been illegally occupied and developed by land-seeking residents, creating shantytown slums in pockets throughout the lower portions of the city.
