Pate sultanate

The Pate Sultanate was a Sultanate along the west coast and islands of what is today Kenya from at least the beginning of the 13th century until 1895. From 1858 on it was the domain known as Wituland.

Archeological evidence suggests Pate was a prominent location in local trade networks by the 10th century.^[1]
