The Capital. Port Louis was used only during summer (due to prevailing winds) by the Dutch and the French since the 1600's, and early 1700's. However, it took all its importance when, in 1735 Labourdonnais decided to make Port Louis the main harbour and the administration headquarters of Mauritius. Labourdonnais had the city plan made, ordered the erection of buildings hosting services that were essential to the colony... and to the good profits of the "Compagnie des Indes."
