General Description The Kingdom of Jolof was a Wolof kingdom that originated after the breakup of the Jolof Empire in 1549. [1] The capital of the Kingdom of Jolof was Yangyang. [2] After the collapse of the Jolof Empire, the independent Kingdom of Jolof never rose to the same prominence as its predecessor. With the increase of the Atlantic slave trade, the landlocked Kingdom of Jolof became less important as trade became centred around the coastal kingdoms of Waalo, Cayor, Baol, Sine and Saloum. [1] In the nineteenth century, the Jolof kingdom was increasingly involved in the marabout wars and by the mid-1860s the kingdom was ruled by the Jihadist forces of Maba Jakhu Ba which officially ended the traditional Kingdom of Jolof.
