1791 Sierra Leone was governed by the Sierra Leone Company until
it became a colony in 1808. Between 1821-1843 Gambia, and between
1821-1850, the Gold Coast, were included in the administration of
Sierra Leone. In 1866 these three territories and also Lagos were
governed together as the West African Settlements.
