About Kenitra :
In terms of some of the earliest known prehistory of this area, the Phoenicians settled the coastline along this part of Morocco as early as the first millennium BC. The major settlement nearest Kenitra was Chellah, somewhat to the south along the banks of the Oued Bou Regreg.
Before the French protectorate, there was only a kasbah in the area where the modern city can today be found. Established in 1912 by Hubert Lyautey, the first Resident-General in Morocco, as a French military fort, harbor and town. The port at Kenitra was opened in 1913.
Kenitra draws its name from a culvert built at Fouarat lake upstream of the kasbah. This culvert was destroyed in 1928. In 1933, the French officially named the locale "Port Lyautey". It was renamed "Kenitra" in 1956 as Morocco gained its independence.
After Operation Torch, the Americans used the French facilities as a military base. Craw Field, named for Medal of Honor recipient Colonel Demas T. Craw who was killed during Operation Torch, was the final destination of the six K-ships of United States Navy Blimp Squadron ZP-14 (Blimpron 14, The Africa Squadron) that made the first transatlantic crossing of non-rigid airships in 1944.. Later, the base at Kenitra was expanded to become a U.S. Naval Air Station. The base was shared by both the USA and Morocco through "The Cold War". A small out-station at Sidi Yahya closed in the mid 1970s. The Air-Station was closed in 1991. |
