-------------------------------
Lusaka is the capital and largest city of Zambia. It is located in south central Zambia at 15?25' South, 28?17' East (-15.41667, 28.28333) [1], on a plateau at 4200 feet (1 400 m) in altitude. It has a population of 1,391,000 (2000).
Lusaka was founded in 1905 by European settlers, at the site of a village named after the village headman Lusaaka. Due to its central location in the country, in 1935 it replaced Livingstone as the capital of the British colony Northern Rhodesia. In 1964 it became the capital of the newly independent Zambia.
The city centre lies around Cairo Road, around which lie the New City Market and Kamwala Market, a major shopping area, and the Zintu Community Museum. Further east lies the government area, around the Cathedral Hill and Ridgeway areas. Other suburbs include Elizabetha Villa, Fairview, Kabulonga, Kabwata (a working class area, home to the Kabwata Cultural Centre), Madras, Manda Hill (another major shopping area), Northmead (known for its nightlife), Olympia Park, Rhodes Park, Roma, Thorn Park and Woodlands.
