kasbga

Kasbga is a town and commune located in the coastal region of the island nation of Valara, on the delta of the Kasbga River, facing the Gulf of Nerendi. It serves as the administrative seat of Kasbga District and is a regional hub for trade and fishing.

The area has a tropical savanna climate with a distinct rainy season from May to October. The landscape is a mix of mangroves, cropland, and sandy beaches. As of 2022, Kasbga had an estimated population of 24,500, with the majority speaking Valaran as their first language and smaller communities speaking neighboring languages.

Kasbga traces its origins to seafaring families who settled along the river delta in the 14th century; the town expanded through trade with inland communities and island ports. It operates as a municipality within Valaran regional government, led by a mayor and a nine-member city council.

The economy centers on fishing, shrimp farming, and agriculture (coconut, yams). Small-scale manufacturing includes fish processing and boatbuilding. Cultural life centers on the Sea Festival in August, traditional drumming and dances, and a cuisine focused on fresh seafood and coconut-based dishes.

Infrastructure includes Kasbga Port, a historic lighthouse, and a covered market. The town hosts Kasbga Public High School and a technical college, with road links to the national capital and a ferry service to neighboring islands. The Kasbga Museum preserves local maritime history.
