The region that is now Gabon was inhabited in Paleolithic times. By the 16th cent. A.D. the Omiéné were living along the coast and in the 18th cent. the Fang entered the region from the north. From the 16th to the 18th cent. the area was part of the decentralized Loango empire, which included most of the area between the Ogooué and Congo rivers.
The earliest humans in Gabon were believed to be the Babinga, or Pygmies, dating back to 7000 B.C., who were later followed by Bantu groups from southern and eastern Africa. Now there are many tribal groups in the country, the largest being the Fang peoples, who constitute 25% of the population.
In 1839, the French founded their first settlement on the left bank of the Gabon estuary and gradually occupied the hinterland during the second half of the 19th century. The land became a French territory in 1888, an autonomous republic within the French Union after World War II, and an independent republic on Aug. 17, 1960.
In 1958, the nation turned into a French community and self-representing. The banner of Gabon was tricolor of four green, one yellow, and 4 blue stripes. The banner had a French tricolor in the canton. In 1960, the nation turned into a recently independent Republic of Gabon.
The banner of Gabon was authoritatively received by Gabon in August 1960. Their military airship has a roundel. Green is the inside circle and is encompassed by the yellow and the blue in just equal groups. Blue is the peripheral shading.
The flag of Gabon has three equally sized horizontal bands of green on the top band, yellow in the middle band and blue as the lower band. The green color represents the green of the forest. With the equator crossing the country, their forest is very lush and green. The blue color represents the sea. Yellow is said to represent the country's other natural resources and the Equator line which pass through the country.
