It was originally a Portuguese trading post, established in 1555: It was later used in the Atlantic slave trade. They were used to hold enslaved Africans before they were loaded onto ships and sold in the Americas, especially the Caribbean.

‘Cabo Corso,’ meaning ‘short cape’, is the name the Portuguese settled on for the local settlement within which its trade lodge was built in 1555. Its corruption to ‘Cape Coast’ is now the accepted name of the capital of the Central Region of Ghana. The Swedes, led by Krusenstjerna, however, were the initiators of the permanent structure presently known as Cape Coast Castle. They built a fort in 1653 and named it Carlousburg, after King Charles X of Sweden.
