High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! The Kingdom of Saloum in Senegal is a traditional kingdom which was founded in the late 15th century by the "Gelwaar" or nobles from the Kingdom of Gaabu to the south. The ancient and present capital of the Kingdom of Saloum is the city of Kahone.Saloum includes flat, swampy tideland areas inland from the Saloum River delta. In recent years large areas of mangrove growth have been destroyed. There was a flourishing industry of salt-manufacture at the salt flats along the delta. Originally, Saloum extended south to the north banks of the Gambia River.The original population was overrun by the Serer in the 11th century, arriving from the Kingdom of Tekrur in the Senegal River Valley in the North. During the Gelwaar period from the 15th century to the present, over 100 kings have been enthroned. The Portuguese contacted the kingdom in 1590. The Kingdom of Saloum conquered the neighboring Kingdom of Sine and controlled it for a long period,during which the area became known as "Sine-Saloum", but it was later split again.
