Goree Island is a tiny 45-acre island that is located approximately 3 kilometers (2 miles) off the coast of Dakar, the capital of Senegal, lies one of the oldest sites of European settlement on the African coast, and once the center of the West African slave trade with an estimated 20 million Africans passing through the Island between 1536-1848 to work on plantations in Europe and the Americas. Before the arrival of the first European settlers, the Portuguese, the Wolof people named the Island Ber. According to some historians, the Wolof were the first to settle on the Island. The Wolof started fishing on the Island and made it their settlement.

In 1444, the Portuguese became the first Europeans to colonize the island and made it their settlement and renamed it Ill de Palma/Palma Island. The Portuguese used the Island as a docking port for their ships and trade routes to India, Brazil, and Mexico. The building of houses on the Island by the Portuguese began in the early 1500s. In 1536, they built the first slave house on the Island and started the slave trade. The size of the Island made it easier for the Portuguese, Dutch and French slave merchants to control enslaved Africans.
