It is the center of Gabon's petroleum and timber industries. Although it lies inshore, the nearby mainland is a remote forest area and it is not connected by road to the rest of the nation. The city lies close to Cape Lopez, the westernmost point in Gabon. It had a 2013 census population of 136,462.In 1722, pirates led by Bartholomew Roberts fought a battle in the Cape Lopez Bay against the Royal Navy. The encounter ended in Roberts' death. The settlement was established on Mandji Island in the delta of the Ogooué River by the French, who signed a treaty with the Orungu people in 1873. It was used as a base for the expeditions of de Brazza into the interior, then in 1894 a customs post was set up, becoming the nucleus of a trading center that included Hatton & Cookson, John Holt, Woermann, Société du Haut-Ogooué, and Compagnie d'Exploitations Forestières Africaines. The main products were initially rubber and ivory, gradually supplemented by woods, particularly okoumé for plywood.The town was named after the French colonial administrator Émile Gentil in 1900. After World War I it became a port for timber, but it grew rapidly only after Elf began oil exploration in the area. It received its first bank branch when Bank of West Africa (BAO) opened a branch there in 1928.A 1947 population of 4,500 grew to 21,000 by 1960. An oil refinery was established by SOGARA in the 1960s, with natural gas added in 1968.The town is now known for its hotels and its nightlife, while attractions include the St Louis Church (built in 1927), a zoo, a casino, beaches and a golf course, as well as the wildlife in local swamps.{{Clear left}}==City districts==The city centre lies next to the harbour on the Port-Gentil Bay seaside. Hotels, banks, shops, and supermarkets (such as the Casino and Cecado brands) are found within the downtown area between the Avenue Savorgnan de Brazzaville and the seaside. The area also concentrates a residential compound for foreign workforce. In the southern part, the BEAC building lies next to the port. The western Atlantic seaside is scarcely populated, mainly due to the presence of strong winds and sea currents. As is the case with other cities in Gabon, the authorities have not yet implemented house numbering in Port-Gentil, and the use of postal boxes is common.==Climate==The Köppen-Geiger climate classification system classifies Port-Gentil's climate as tropical wet and dry (Aw). Despite the fact that the city lies in close proximity to the equator, Port-Gentil experiences noticeably warmer and cooler periods of the year with average temperatures in June (the city's coolest month) hovering at around {{convert|23.5|C}} and average temperatures in February and March (the city's warmest months) at around {{convert|27|C}}. Port-Gentil features a lengthy wet season that runs from October through May and a relatively short dry season that covers the remaining four months. The city receives roughly {{convert|2000|mm}} of precipitation annually.The highest recorded temperature was {{convert|38.0|C}} on 26 February 2016; the lowest recorded temperature was {{convert|13.2|C}} on 1 August 1953.[{{Weather box|metric first=yes|single line=yes|location=Port-Gentil (1961–1990, extremes 1950–present)|Jan record high C=32.6|Feb record high C=38.0|Mar record high C=34.6|Apr record high C=33.7|May record high C=33.2|Jun record high C=33.2|Jul record high C=30.8|Aug record high C=33.1|Sep record high C=33.3|Oct record high C=33.0|Nov record high C=34.0|Dec record high C=35.0|year record high C=38.0|Jan high C=29.5|Feb high C=30.2|Mar high C=30.3|Apr high C=30.0|May high C=29.0|Jun high C=26.7|Jul high C=25.9|Aug high C=27.4|Sep high C=27.7|Oct high C=28.3|Nov high C=28.6|Dec high C=29.0|year high C=28.5|Jan mean C=26.9|Feb mean C=27.3|Mar mean C=27.3|Apr mean C=27.1|May mean C=26.6|Jun mean C=24.4|Jul mean C=23.5|Aug mean C=24.7|Sep mean C=25.4|Oct mean C=25.9|Nov mean C=26.1|Dec mean C=26.5|year mean C=26.0|Jan low C=24.2|Feb low C=24.4|Mar low C=24.3|Apr low C=24.2|May low C=24.1|Jun low C=22.0|Jul low C=21.1|Aug low C=21.9|Sep low C=23.0|Oct low C=23.5|Nov low C=23.5|Dec low C=24.0|year low C=23.3|Jan record low C=17.6|Feb record low C=19.4|Mar record low C=19.5|Apr record low C=18.0|May record low C=19.0|Jun record low C=16.4|Jul record low C=16.0|Aug record low C=13.2|Sep record low C=18.2|Oct record low C=19.5|Nov record low C=15.8|Dec record low C=18.2|year record low C=13.2|precipitation colour=green|Jan precipitation mm=247.8|Feb precipitation mm=177.8|Mar precipitation mm=266.8|Apr precipitation mm=299.3|May precipitation mm=150.6|Jun precipitation mm=11.5|Jul precipitation mm=3.4|Aug precipitation mm=5.0|Sep precipitation mm=31.8|Oct precipitation mm=179.9|Nov precipitation mm=352.2|Dec precipitation mm=227.1|year precipitation mm=1953.2|Jan humidity=84|Feb humidity=84|Mar humidity=83|Apr humidity=84|May humidity=85|Jun humidity=84|Jul humidity=83|Aug humidity=82|Sep humidity=82|Oct humidity=84|Nov humidity=86|Dec humidity=84|year humidity=84|Jan precipitation days = 14.8|Feb precipitation days = 12.7|Mar precipitation days = 16.4|Apr precipitation days = 15.5|May precipitation days = 10.2|Jun precipitation days = 0.9|Jul precipitation days = 0.5|Aug precipitation days = 3.4|Sep precipitation days = 9.0|Oct precipitation days = 17.4|Nov precipitation days = 19.6|Dec precipitation days = 13.9|year precipitation days = 134.3|Jan sun = 150.4|Feb sun = 160.8|Mar sun = 154.5|Apr sun = 151.5|May sun = 147.8|Jun sun = 156.3|Jul sun = 163.1|Aug sun = 135.3|Sep sun = 125.7|Oct sun = 116.1|Nov sun = 115.1|Dec sun = 147.2|year sun = 1723.8|source 1 = NOAA][{{cite web| url = ftp://ftp.atdd.noaa.gov/pub/GCOS/WMO-Normals/TABLES/REG__I/GN/64501.TXT| title = Port-Gentil Climate Normals 1961–1990| publisher = National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration| accessdate = March 8, 2015}}]
