A bit of culture for you out there…
“Portuguese explorer Rui de Sequeira visited the area in 1472, naming the area around the city Lago de Curamo; indeed the present name is Portuguese for “lakes”. Another explanation is that Lagos was named for Lagos, Portugal – a maritime town which, at the time, was the main centre of Portuguese expeditions down the African coast, and whose own name is derived from the Latin word Lacobriga.” – in http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lagos
And a bit more…
“The Portuguese first landed on Lagos Island in 1472” – in http://www.britannica.com/EBchecked/topic/327849/Lagos
So, there you have. Another reason why no other nation can be bigger than mine!
