Antsiranana is situated on the northern edge of Madagascar. The city is the capital of the Diana area and of the Antsiranana autonomous province. The city contains a natural port for the transportation of goods from the area, but the remote location, and, until recently, bad road to the south, has made it rather non significant for freight traffic. The region is also known as Diogo Soares, a Portuguese navigator who visited the bay in 1543. In the 1880s, the bay was popular in France, which preferred it as a coaling station for steamships. After the first Franco-Hova War, Queen Ranavalona III signed a treaty in 1885 giving France a region over the bay and surrounding territory, as well as the islands of Nossi-Be and Ste. Marie de Madagascar.
