Livingstone Maramba in Zambia ZAMBIE zambia. livingstone-maramba Informations and links Livingstone Maramba![]() Map Livingstone Maramba Photos Livingstone Maramba Population on 20-Oct-00 : 97488 ------------------------------- Livingstone also Maramba is a town and provincial capital in Zambia, located about 10 km from Victoria Falls on the Zambezi River. Its population is 97,000 (2002, www.citypopulation.de). The city sprang up after the Victoria Falls Bridge was constructed in 1904, and was named in honor of David Livingstone, the first European to explore the region. In 1911 Livingstone became the capital of the British colony of Northern Rhodesia, succeeding Kalomo, until the seat of government was finally moved to Lusaka in 1935. The Victoria Falls Bridge spans the Zambezi downstream from the waterfall and provides one of the chief border crossings between Zambia and Zimbabwe. Livingstone is also connected to Lusaka by road and has grown around the railway, which still runs to Kitwe via Lusaka. The Mosi-oa-Tunya National Park adjoins the city and covers 66 km? and attracts large contingents of tourists who come each year to view its wildlife - elephants, giraffes, hippopotamuses, and the only white rhinoceroses in Zambia. The town has a small colonial-era museum which contains a magnificent collection of memorabilia relating to David Livingstone. From 2000, the worsening economic and social conditions in Zimbabwe have greatly increased Livingstone's tourism at the expense of Victoria Falls, Zimbabwe which was traditionally the centre of tourist operations in the region. (From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia.) The territory of Northern Rhodesia was administered by the South Africa Company from 1891 until it was taken over by the UK in 1923. During the 1920s and 1930s, advances in mining spurred development and immigration. The name was changed to Zambia upon in.
