History maps
The island of Bioko is discovered by the Portuguese explorer Fernando Pó in 1474, who renames the island after himself. Together with the island of Annóbon the Portuguese colony of Fernando Pó is formed. The colony is ceded to Spain in 1778, though due to the yellow fever there is no Spanish settlement between 1780 and 1843. Since 1843 the colony also includes Río Muni, an area on the African continent and is also known as Spanish Guinea. The islands and Río Muni are officially united in 1926 into the colony of Spanish Guinea. Spanish Guinea is divided in 1959 into the Spanish overseas provinces of Fernando Póo and Río Muni, but reunited as Equatorial Guinea in 1963. In 1968 the country becomes independent as the Republic of Equatorial Guinea. |

Notes and references
General remarks:
- The WIKIMEDIA COMMONS Atlas of the World is an organized and commented collection of geographical, political and historical maps available at Wikimedia Commons. The main page is therefore the portal to maps and cartography on Wikimedia. That page contains links to entries by country, continent and by topic as well as general notes and references.
- Every entry has an introduction section in English. If other languages are native and/or official in an entity, introductions in other languages are added in separate sections. The text of the introduction(s) is based on the content of the Wikipedia encyclopedia. For sources of the introduction see therefore the Wikipedia entries linked to. The same goes for the texts in the history sections.
- Historical maps are included in the continent, country and dependency entries.
- The status of various entities is disputed. See the content for the entities concerned.
- The maps of former countries that are more or less continued by a present-day country or had a territory included in only one or two countries are included in the atlas of the present-day country. For example the Ottoman Empire can be found in the Atlas of Turkey.
