Stone Town (Portuguese: Cidade de Pedra) is a town situated towards the northern end of the Island of Mozambique. Pottery found on Mozambique Island indicates that the original town was founded no later than the fourteenth century. According to tradition, the original Swahili population came from Kilwa. The town's rulers had links with the rulers of both Angoche and Quelimane by the fifteenth century. In 1514, Duarte Barbosa noted that the town had a Muslim population and that they spoke the same Swahili dialect as Angoche.
