In accordance with the facts given by Arab authors of the middle ages, as well as by local traditions, it has been agreed to place the site of the city of Tekrur not far from Podor in the province of the Senegalese Futa (or ‘area’) called Toro. In the course of time the name Tekrur was applied by Muslim writers to the whole of the Negro country at the southern border of the Sahara, in great part Islamised; thus it became almost synonymous with “Sudan” and it is with this meaning that it has long figured on our maps.
