In 1462, the first Portuguese settlers landed in what is now Santiago and founded the oldest European city in the tropics: Ribeira Grande (now Cidade Velha). The Portuguese introduced the cultivation of sugarcane, but the dry climate was not favorable. So they were mainly dedicated to the slave trade, mainly from the west coast of Africa. The rise of slavery revolutionized Cape Verde's economy in just a few years.
