Antanànaŕvo is the capital of Madagascar. It is located in Antananarivo Province, and is also known by its French name Tananarive or by its colloquial short-hand form Tana.
Antanànaŕvo is situated in the center of the island length-wise, and 90 miles away from the eastern coast. The city occupies a commanding position, being built on the summit and slopes of a long and narrow rocky ridge, which extends north and south for about 2½ miles and rising at its highest point to 690 ft. above the extensive rice plain to the west, which is itself 4060 ft. above sea-level. It is Madagascar's largest city and is its administrative, communications, and economic center.
the principal seaport of the island, with which it is connected by railway, and for about 60 miles along the coastal lagoons, a service of small steamers. Industries include food products, cigarettes, and textiles. Approximately 120 kilometres to the northeast is Mantadia National Park.
The city was captured by the French in 1895 and incorporated into their Madagascar protectorate. Since the French conquest, good roads have been constructed throughout the city, broad flights of steps connect places too steep for the formation of carriage roads, and the central space, called Andohalo, has become a handsome place, with walks and terraces, flower-beds and trees. A small park has been laid out near the residency, and the planting of trees and the formation of gardens in various parts of the city give it a bright and attractive appearance. Water is obtained from springs at the foot of the hill, but it is proposed to bring an abundant supply from the river Ikopa, which skirts the capital to the south and west. The city is guarded by two forts built on hills to the east and south-west respectively. Including an Anglican and a Roman Catholic cathedral, there are about fifty churches in the city and its suburbs, as well as a Muslim mosque. Antananarivo is home of the University of Madagascar and the Collège Rural d'Ambatobe. In the colonial period and for some years after independence, the spelling Tananarive was used rather than Antananarivo.
