Nkana (original) (raw)
Nkana is a section of the city of Kitwe, Copperbelt Province, Zambia which started off in the early part of the 20th century as a railway station to support the growing complex of copper mining operations. It was named after Chief Nkana, the local traditional ruler. The copper mines of Nkana were originally owned by the Anglo-American Corporation of South Africa. A large smelter was built at the site of the Nkana Mine. The mines in Nkana were among the largest copper mines in the world, employing in excess of 20,000 people. The city of Kitwe grew up as a service town for the Nkana mines but soon swallowed them up, leading to the name Kitwe-Nkana sometimes being used to refer to the city.

| dbo:abstract | Nkana war einmal ein eigenständiger Ort in der Provinz Copperbelt von Sambia. Heute ist er ein Teil der Stadt Kitwe. Nkana wurde um 1920 als Station an der Eisenbahnstrecke in den Copperbelt gegründet. Namensgebend war Chief Nkana, ein traditioneller Herrscher im Gebiet der Neugründung. Das Kupfererz aus den umliegenden Bergwerken der Anglo American Corporation, den damals größten des Landes, wurde in Nkana geschmolzen und für den Export verladen. Etwa 20.000 Arbeiter waren in den Bergwerken und mit der Verhüttung der Erze beschäftigt. In den späten 1960er-Jahren wurden die sambischen Bergwerke und Verhüttungsindustrien verstaatlicht. Der Stadtteil Kitwe, der Dienstleistungen für die Bergwerke erbrachte, wuchs zusehends. Beide Orte verschmolzen miteinander. In den 1970er-Jahren wurde Nkana von Kitwe eingemeindet. Seitdem stehen beiden Ortsnamen synonym füreinander.
