Port Victoria

Mahe, the largest island of the Seychelles, was named for Mahe de Labourdonnais, a governor of Mauritius. Mahe was first visited by the British in 1609 and not visited by Europeans again until Lazare Picault's expedition of 1742. Mahe remained a French possession until 1814 when it became a British colony. It remained a colony until 1976 when Seychelles became an independent nation. Port Victoria, the capital city of the Republic of Seychelles, is located on Mahe.
