History
In the mid-sixteenth century, Allada (then called Grand Ardra, or Arda) had a population of about 30,000 people.WEB, Monroe, Cameron, Urbanism on West Africa's Slave Coast,weblink American Scientist, 24 September 2014, 13 January 2014,weblink dead, The original inhabitants of Ardra were ethnic Aja.JOURNAL, Asiwaju, A. I., The Aja-Speaking Peoples of Nigeria: A Note on Their Origins, Settlement and Cultural Adaptation up to 1945, Africa: Journal of the International African Institute, 49, 1, 1979, 15â28, 0001-9720, 10.2307/1159502, 1159502, 145468899, According to oral tradition, the Aja migrated to southern Benin around the 12th or 13th century, coming from Tado, on the Mono River in modern Togo. They established themselves in the area that currently corresponds to southern Benin, until c. 1600, when three brothers â Kokpon, Do-Aklin, and Te-Agdanlin â split the rule of the region amongst themselves: Kokpon took the capital city of Great Ardra, reigning over the Allada kingdom, while his brother Do-Aklin founded Abomey (which would become capital of the Kingdom of Dahomey) and their brother Te-Agdanlin founded Little Ardra, also known as Ajatche(Little Adja), later called Porto Novo (literally, "New Port") by Portuguese traders (which is the current capital city of Benin).Notable citizens and residents
