==Population history==
'''São João dos Angolares''' ([[Portuguese language|Portuguese]] meaning [[John the Apostle|Saint John]]) is a small town on the east coast of [[São Tomé Island]] in [[São Tomé and Príncipe]]. It lies on a couple of small rivers and is based on [[fishing]] and two [[plantation]]s. Coordinates: {{coor dms|0|21|33|N|6|33|6|E|type:city(5900)_region:ST}}


{| class="wikitable"
The town is named for the [[Angola]]n slaves who settled the area after a ship was wrecked on the [[Sete Pedras]] rocks in the [[sixteenth century]], and whose descendants live in the settlement today. Some authorities claim the "Angolans" are actually a remnant of a pre-European population on the island. The townspeople speak [[Algolar language|Angolar]] (Ngola), a unique [[creole language]].
