Postage stamps and postal history of British East Africa : ウィキペディア英語版 | Postage stamps and postal history of British East Africa This is a survey of the postage stamps and postal history of British East Africa. Britain had interests in this area as early as 1824. Missionaries are known to have settled in the area in 1844. The Imperial British East Africa Company obtained a concession in 1887 to administer this area, from Sultan Bargash of the Sultanate of Zanzibar. The company started to experience financial difficulties in 1891. The situation was made more difficult in 1892 when Britain declared the Sultanate of Zanzibar part of the Congo Free Trade Zone and thus depriving the company of import duties.〔(History of Kenya )〕 On 1 July 1895, the British government took over the administration of this area when the company was facing bankruptcy. == Pre-stamp era == The early missionaries in British East Africa sent letters by runner to forwarding agents in Zanzibar. Letters are known from as early as 1848. From 1875 mail was sent via the Indian post office which had been opened in Zanzibar.
