Mamboro

Mamboro is a coastal domain in northwestern Sumba, known also as Mamboru. Its harbour gave visiting sailors access to an island divided among local rulers and noble lineages. A Dutch East India Company report in 1678 noted that people from Ende on Flores sailed to Sumba each year, particularly to Mamboro. The island's dealings with outside traders were intertwined with local alliances and the exchange of people and goods.
