Pangani is a town in northeast Tanzania
that lies 45 km south of Tanga, at the mouth of the Pangani River. It is the

Several historical sites in and around the
town serve as reminders of the strong Arabic influence and the later German and
British colonial era in Tanganyika. The district boma or headquarters is the
most impressive building remaining from the period of Zanzibari rule
Pangani was once a secondary center of the
sisal industry, servicing sisal plantations to the north and south of town.
Pangani also has a fishing industry. In recent years beach resorts north and

Its hospital draws patients from many parts of the region. Funguni Secondary
School is in Pangani Town and Boza Secondary School is a short distance north.
