Manuel António Martins (1772 in Braga-1845) was a Portuguese administrator and colonial governor of Cape Verde and Guinea (Portuguese Guinea, now Guinea-Bissau) from 1833 to 1835.
Early life
Martins was born in Braga to João António Cosqueiro and Bernarda di Autrello.
Diplomacy
Martins moved to Cape Verde in 1792.[1] In 1819, he was nominated by Samuel Hodges, Jr. as a honorary vice-consul to the United States.[2] and the main responsible of a settlement on Sal Island. Martins later became signed as a prefect in 1833.[1]
In 1833, Martins was appointed by Francisco Simões Margiochi to become the 71st colonial governor of Cape Verde and Guinea. His tenure lasted until between 1835.[1]
Slavery
Martins made slaves on the island since 1799 for exploring salt in Pedra de Lume, Sal's first settlement, discovered a marsh right for its activity, some steps for a good anchorage. Its access to a march had been opened to slaves, in 1804, a tunnel was carved (first in Cape Verde) to carry salts out to port, made by Turinvest and was numbered "P14" and changed to a thalassotherapy (salt therapy) center.
Later life
In 1830, he officially founded Santa Maria in the south of Sal, and later raised its business in Pedra de Lume. The main defender of Cape Verde and administrator of marketing, Martins helped fund grocery expenses during famine. During the famine, he temporarily moved the capital to Picos for several years on February 14, 1834.[3]

In 1793, Martins married Maria Josefa Ferreira, daughter of Aniceto António Ferreira Álvares Mendes.[2]
