The French began settling in Saint-Louis (1659) and Gorée Island\, eventually establishing Senegal as a French colony by the 19th century. Senegal became a key administrative and trading hub for French West Africa (Afrique-Occidentale française\, AOF). \nIn the push for decolonization after World War II\, African states began demanding greater autonomy.  \nOn April 4\, 1959\, Senegal joined with French Sudan (now Mali) to form the Mali Federation\, an experiment in African unity supported by France. The federation was granted independence from France on April 4\, 1960. \nThe Mali Federation was short-lived. Internal disagreements led to its collapse in August 1960. \nSenegal declared itself a sovereign independent republic on August 20\, 1960\, but the date of April 4 was retained as the official Independence Day\, since it marked the original freedom from French colonial rule. \nLéopold Sédar Senghor\, a poet\, philosopher\, and statesman\, became the country's first president. \nIndependence Day is Senegal's most important national holiday. The holiday emphasizes both national pride and Senegal's commitment to democracy and African unity.
