The area is rich with Serer ancient and medieval history.[2][3][4] Many of the ancient Serer sites are found within this region.[2][4] It is also one of the holy places in the Serer religion.[5] The Xooy Ceremony (or Khoy), a divination festival by the Serer priestly class (the Saltigues) is held within this region once a year.[6] The population is overrun by the Serer people. Historically, it was part of the Serer pre-colonial Kingdom of Sine.[3][4] In 1859, the Battle of Logandème took place within this region. It was a battle of resistance by the Siin-Siin (Serer people of Sine) against French colonialism. It is called in some French scholarly works as the Battle of Fatick.
