Loango-Angola is the name for the possessions of the Dutch West India Company in contemporary Angola and the Republic of the Congo.
Notably, the name refers to the colony that is occupied from the Portuguese between 1641 and 1648.
After Angola is recaptured by the Portuguese in 1648, Dutch trade with Loango-Angola does not stop, however.
From about 1670 onward, the Dutch West India Company acquires slaves from the Loango region on a regular basis, and Dutch free traders continued this practice until after 1730.
Due to the distance between Luanda and Elmina, the capital of the Dutch Gold Coast, a separate administration for "Africa South" is established at Luanda during the period of the Dutch occupation
