In page Ivory Coast:

"

Compared to neighbouring Ghana, Ivory Coast, though practising slavery and slave raiding, suffered little from the slave trade.[1] European slave and merchant ships preferred other areas along the coast.[1] The earliest recorded European voyage to West Africa was made by the Portuguese in 1482.[citation needed] The first West African French settlement, Saint-Louis, was founded in the mid-17th century in Senegal, while at about the same time, the Dutch ceded to the French a settlement at Gorée Island, off Dakar.[2] A French mission was established in 1687 at Assinie near the border with the Gold Coast (now Ghana).[2] The Europeans suppressed the local practice of slavery at this time and forbade the trade to their merchants.[citation needed]
