== British Colonization (1821-1965) ==
The Gambia was both a British colony and protectorate. The area surrounding Bathurst (now Banjul) was a colony, at times under the Sierra Leone Colony, while the inland territory around the Gambia River became a protectorate in 1894. In 1965, The Gambia became an independent state in the Commonwealth of Nations.<ref>Wikipedia contributors, "Gambia Colony and Protectorate," in ''Wikipedia: the Free Encyclopedia'', https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gambia_Colony_and_Protectorate, accessed 1 August 2019.</ref>
