Overview
Edd was the first port that the French attempted to take possession of; their presence in the town proved ephemeral. A contract for the settlement's purchase dated 12 September 1840 between Sheikh Mahmud Hasan of Edd and Badri Ali on the one side, and representatives of the Compagnie Nanto-Bordelaise on the other, survives.[1]
