Togoville

Togoville is a town on the northern shore of Lake Togo in southern Togo. On 5 July 1884 the German envoy Gustav Nachtigal signed a protection treaty there with the local chief Mlapa III, which founded the German colony of Togoland and gave the country its name. It is also a Catholic pilgrimage centre.
