History
Guédiawaye was originally a collection of fishing settlements before 800 when the city was established as the summer capital of the Kolda Empire, by King Akcan Ienga. Ienga also constructed a nearby market and administrative buildings that became the center of the new city. As trade between inland Kolda and the rest of Neria continued to grow, traders moved to Guédiawaye to help manage their business. Much of the new construction consisted of informal mud-brick houses and shops. Ienga passed the throne onto his descendants for 400 years until the arrival of Islam led to the reorganization of the empire under a Caliph. Caplih Al-Hamoud Tulkour, a proponent of the arts and sciences reorganized the city, following a detailed plan with the Mosque of Guédiawaye at its center.
