The history of Gaborone began with archaeological evidence in the area around Gaborone dating back to 400 BCE,[8] and the first written accounts of Gaborone are from the earliest European settlers in the 19th century. Since the 1960s, when Botswana gained its independence from Britain and Gaborone became the capital, the city has grown from a small village in the Botswana scrubland to a major center in southern Africa.
