==History==
Lilongwe had existed for centuries as a small fishing village on the banks of the Lilongwe River. During British Colonial Rule, the settlement became an administrative center due to its strategic location. Formally founded in 1906〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Lilongwe Malawi - Travel Guide - Tourist Information )〕 as a trading post, Lilongwe was officially recognized as a town in 1947.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Lilongwe )〕 After gaining independence, it increasingly developed into an important trading center in Malawi's central region. Its growth was encouraged when the country's former head of state, Hastings Kamuzu Banda, established it as Malawi's new capital city in 1975.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Lilongwe - Malawi Tourism - Malawi Safari - Malawi Attractions )〕 The last government offices have been relocated to Lilongwe in 2005.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Malawi Reports: Urban Profiles of Blantyre, Lilongwe, Mzuzu and Zomba )〕
The city's population is increasing rapidly, with an annual growth rate of 4.3%.〔http://www.zaragoza.es/contenidos/medioambiente/onu//issue06/1136-eng.pdf〕
