History
An 1814 French illustration depicting of a Moorish slave raid in Senegal.
In 1733, N'Der became the third capital in the history of Waalo as Brak Njak Aram moved there from Njurbel, the previous capital.[1]
In 1819, as the Brak Amar Fatim Borso and most of his warriors had traveled to Saint-Louis to have their wounds treated at the French hospital after a battle against Trarza Moors, the undefended capital became the target of a slave raid by the Trarza army.[2] After sending their children to hide in the fields, the women of N'Der organized a desperate resistance against the Trarzas. Although they managed to repulse a first assault, the Trarza warriors soon attacked again and all of the Wolof women decided to commit suicide by fire rather than being enslaved by the Moors.[3]
On 25 February 1855, the village was captured and burned down by the French after the Battle of Dioubouldou.[4] The village was soon rebuilt, but its importance greatly diminished following the exile of Queen Ndaté Yalla and the annexion of Waalo to the French colony of Saint-Louis.
In late May 1857, eight French soldiers in a small blockhouse repulsed a Trarza attack on the village.[5]
