Lagos is a key trading route due to its location as a port city. It was also known for being a transit route for the slave trade industry during the early 1800s. It got its official name “Lagos,” which means “lakes,” from Portuguese settlers as far back at the 1400s, but is commonly called “Eko” by locals, which originates from the Yoruba language. Once the country’s capital, from 1914 to 1991, administrative and governing functions have since moved to Abuja.
