History
In the late 18th and early 19th centuries, the Portuguese built Forte de São Pedro to establish themselves in Benguela. Today, the fort is in a dilapidated condition, but plans are being made to restore it and turn it into a museum. Catumbela was a commune in the municipality of Lobito until 2011, when it became a municipality in its own right.
