Mboubène
Mboubène is a town in the lower delta of the Senegal River, near the mouth of the Marigot de Djeuss. The town is located on the main highway to the Maka-Diama Dam at a distance of from the coastal city of Saint-Louis, Senegal. On French and Dutch maps, the name of the town has been spelled variously, including "MBoulene" and "Emboulan." It was called "Biffeche-Ville" during the period of the 1960s through the 1980s when it was inhabited by resettled members of the Sèrèer ethnic group.
Today, Mboubène consists of two parts: Al Madinatoul Islamiah Mboubène Peulh inhabited by Fula people, and Mboubène Naar primarily inhabited by Moors. There is a Koranic school and general store at the former, and a royal residence at the latter.
The chief economic activities are animal husbandry and gardening. Nearby agricultural fields suffer from yearly flooding and salinity.
Mboubène-Peulh is governed by an appointed Chef de Village.
