Grand Port District : ウィキペディア英語版 | Grand Port District
Grand Port is a district of Mauritius, situated in the east of the island. The name means large port in French. The district has an area of 260.3 km2 and the population estimate was at 116,211 as of 31 December 2012.〔 ==History==
Grand Port is named after the village of 'Old Grand Port' which saw the first Dutch landing and the first port of the island. It is centered on the town of Mahébourg on the coast, inside the Grand Port Bay. Built by the Dutch and later taken over by the French, the town is a reminder of the colonial past of the island. In 1810, a French squadron of frigates achieved an ultimately futile naval victory over a comparable British squadron at the Battle of Grand Port, near the Île de la Passe.
