<p>The bay is the northern termination of the series of lagoons which line the coast from <a href="Saint_Lucia_Bay" class="mw-redirect" title="Saint Lucia Bay">Saint Lucia Bay</a>.

</p><p>In spite of a bar at the entrance and a number of shallows within, Maputo Bay forms a valuable harbour, accessible to large vessels at all seasons of the year. The surrounding country is low and very unhealthy, but Inhaca island has a height of 73 m, and was used as a sanatorium.

<p>The first European to reach the bay was <a href="Portuguese_people" title="Portuguese people">Portuguese</a> navigator António de Campo, one of <a href="Vasco_da_Gama" title="Vasco da Gama">Vasco da Gama</a>'s captains, in 1502. In 1544 the merchant trader <a href="Louren%C3%A7o_Marques" class="mw-redirect" title="Lourenço Marques">Lourenço Marques</a> explored the upper reaches of the estuaries leading into the bay.<sup id="cite_ref-EB1911_3-2" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-EB1911-3"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>3<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> Subsequently, <a href="Jo%C3%A3o_III_of_Portugal" class="mw-redirect" title="João III of Portugal">King João III</a> ordered the Bay to be named <b>Baia de Lourenço Marques</b>. Lourenço Marques is reputed to have named the bay <b>Baía da Lagoa</b> (Portuguese: "Bay of the Lagoon"). In English the Portuguese "Baia da Lagoa" then was translated and slightly transformed to "Delagoa Bay".
</p><p>In 1720, the <a href="Dutch_East_India_Company" title="Dutch East India Company">Dutch East India Company</a> built a fort and factory called Lijdzaamheid (Lydsaamheid) on the spot of Lourenço Marques (now Maputo), since April 1721 governed by an <i><a href="Opperhoofd" title="Opperhoofd">Opperhoofd</a></i> (chief factor), under authority of the Dutch Cape Colony, interrupted by <a href="John_Taylor_(pirate)" title="John Taylor (pirate)">Taylor's pirate occupation</a> from April 1722 to 28 August 1722; in December 1730 the settlement was abandoned. Thereafter the Portuguese had—intermittently—trading stations in the Espírito Santo estuary. These stations were protected by small forts, usually incapable, however, of withstanding attacks by the natives.<sup id="cite_ref-EB1911_3-3" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-EB1911-3"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>3<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> In 1779 the <a href="Austrian_colonial_policy" title="Austrian colonial policy">Austrian</a> ship "Joseph und Theresia" of the <a href="Austrian_East_India_Company" title="Austrian East India Company">Austrian East India Company</a> lands at the bay and the Austrians erect the St. Joseph and St. Maria forts. In 1778, an Austrian expedition led by English adventurer <a href="William_Bolts" title="William Bolts">William Bolts</a> established a trading factory at Delagoa Bay. The factory, composed of 155 men and a number of women, traded in ivory, reaching as high as 75,000 pounds per year until the factory was expelled by the Portuguese in 1781.<sup id="cite_ref-Newitt1995_8-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-Newitt1995-8"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>8<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup><sup id="cite_ref-9" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-9"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>9<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup>
</p><p>In 1823, Captain (afterwards Vice-Admiral) <a href="W._F._W._Owen" class="mw-redirect" title="W. F. W. Owen">W. F. W. Owen</a>, of the <a href="Royal_Navy" title="Royal Navy">Royal Navy</a>, finding that the Portuguese exercised no jurisdiction south of the settlement of Lourenço Marques, concluded treaties of cession with native chiefs, hoisted the British flag, and appropriated the country from the English river southwards; but when he visited the bay again in 1824 he found that the Portuguese, disregarding the British treaties, had concluded others with the natives, and had endeavoured (unsuccessfully) to take military possession of the country.
</p><p>Captain Owen re-hoisted the British flag, but the sovereignty of either power was left undecided till the claims of the <a href="Transvaal_Republic" class="mw-redirect" title="Transvaal Republic">Transvaal Republic</a> rendered a solution of the question urgent. In the meantime the United Kingdom had taken no steps to exercise authority on the spot, while the ravages of <a href="Zulus" class="mw-redirect" title="Zulus">Zulus</a> confined Portuguese authority to the limits of their fort. In 1835 <a href="Boer" class="mw-redirect" title="Boer">Boers</a>, under a leader named Orich, had attempted to form a settlement on the bay and in 1868 the Transvaal president, <a href="Marthinus_Pretorius" class="mw-redirect" title="Marthinus Pretorius">Marthinus Pretorius</a>, claimed the country on each side of the <a href="Maputo_River" title="Maputo River">Maputo</a> down to the sea. In the following year, however, the Transvaal acknowledged Portugal's sovereignty over the bay.<sup id="cite_ref-EB1911_3-4" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-EB1911-3"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>3<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup>
</p><p>In 1861, Royal Navy Captain Bickford declared <a href="Inhaca" title="Inhaca">Inhaca</a> and Elephant islands to be British territory; an act protested by the authorities in Lisbon. In 1872, the dispute between the United Kingdom and Portugal was submitted to the arbitration of <a href="Adolphe_Thiers" title="Adolphe Thiers">Adolphe Thiers</a>, the French president; and on 19 April 1875 his successor, <a href="Marshal_MacMahon" class="mw-redirect" title="Marshal MacMahon">Marshal MacMahon</a>, ruled in favor of the Portuguese.<sup id="cite_ref-10" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-10"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>10<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup>
</p><p>Previously, the United Kingdom and Portugal had agreed a right of pre-emption would be granted to the unsuccessful claimant in case of sale or cession of the bay. Portuguese authority over the Mozambican interior was not established until some time after the MacMahon decision; nominally, the country south of the Manhissa river was ceded to them by the <a href="Matshangana" class="mw-redirect" title="Matshangana">Matshangana</a> chief <a href="Umzila" class="mw-redirect" title="Umzila">Umzila</a> in 1861.<sup id="cite_ref-EB1911_3-5" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-EB1911-3"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>3<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> In honor of the French president's decision, a beer brewed in Maputo is still today called "MacMahon" or "2M" (Portuguese: "Dois M"). Similarly, the Maputo railway station sat at "Praça MacMahon" (MacMahon Square).<sup id="cite_ref-11" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-11"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>11<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> After Mozambique's independence from Portugal, it was renamed "Praça dos Trabalhadores" (Workers' Square).
</p><p>In 1889, another dispute arose between Portugal and the United Kingdom over the Portuguese seizure of the railway running from the bay to the Transvaal. This dispute was also referred to arbitration: in 1900, Portugal was found liable and ordered to pay nearly £1,000,000 in compensation to the railway company's shareholders.<sup id="cite_ref-EB1911_3-6" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-EB1911-3"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>3<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup>
