The first Europeans to discover the bay were <a href="/wiki/Portugal" title="Portugal">Portuguese</a> navigators led by <a href="/w/index.php?title=Ant%C3%B3nio_de_Campo&action=edit&redlink=1" class="new" title="António de Campo (page does not exist)">António de Campo</a> in 1502. In 1544, the Portuguese merchant and explorer <a href="/wiki/Louren%C3%A7o_Marques_(explorer)" title="Lourenço Marques (explorer)">Lourenço Marques</a> reached the bay and named it Delagoa Bay. The Portuguese established a fort on the site, but were soon forced to abandon it. In 1721, the <a href="/wiki/Dutch_East_India_Company" title="Dutch East India Company">Dutch East India Company</a> established <a href="/w/index.php?title=Fort_Lydsaamheid&action=edit&redlink=1" class="new" title="Fort Lydsaamheid (page does not exist)">Fort Lydsaamheid</a> on the bay, but abandoned it due to conflicts with local Africans and the unhealthy environment. In the mid-18th century, the Portuguese returned to the bay, selling <a href="/wiki/Ivory" title="Ivory">ivory</a> to British ships carrying Indian textiles. In 1773, <a href="/wiki/William_Bolts" title="William Bolts">William Bolts</a> of the <a href="/wiki/Trieste_Company" class="mw-redirect" title="Trieste Company">Trieste Company</a> reached the bay and claimed it for the <a href="/wiki/Holy_Roman_Empire" title="Holy Roman Empire">Holy Roman Empire</a>. Bolts and the Austrians were forced out in 1781 by Portuguese ships sent from <a href="/wiki/Goa" title="Goa">Goa</a>. </p><p>That year, hoping to prevent other European powers from claiming the area in the future, the Portuguese constructed <a href="/w/index.php?title=Maputo_Fortress&action=edit&redlink=1" class="new" title="Maputo Fortress (page does not exist)">a fortress</a> on the bay, naming it Lourenço Marques. During the late 18th and early 19th century, the fort was mainly used by French, British, and American whaling ships to stop for provisions. A town grew around the fort starting around 1850, and in 1877, it was elevated to city status. In 1898, the colony of <a href="/wiki/Portuguese_Mozambique" title="Portuguese Mozambique">Portuguese Mozambique</a> relocated its capital there. In the late 19th and early 20th centuries, Lourenço Marques grew both in population and economic development as a port city. Upon <a href="/wiki/Mozambican_War_of_Independence" title="Mozambican War of Independence">Mozambican independence</a> in 1975, the city became the national capital and was renamed Maputo. During the <a href="/wiki/Mozambican_Civil_War" title="Mozambican Civil War">Mozambican Civil War</a>, the city's economy was devastated. When the war ended, the <a href="/wiki/FRELIMO" title="FRELIMO">FRELIMO</a> government launched a program to revive the city's economy, and to clean up the city by forcibly removing criminals, squatters, and undocumented residents. Since then, Maputo's economy, centered around its <a href="/wiki/Port_of_Maputo" title="Port of Maputo">port</a>, has recovered, and stability has returned.
