中非共和國的鑽石勘探者發現了至少有 8000 年曆史的拋光燧石和石英工具。大約 2,500 年前，當地農民在布阿爾附近豎起了重達數噸的巨石。這些紀念碑的製作和固定都需要龐大的團隊合作，顯現這是由大型社會單位建造的。

今日，那些說各種語言的部族，可追溯至公元 15 世紀已開始在該地區生活。這些部族生活在相對偏僻的小部落中，他們在那裡狩獵和以刀耕火種法清理土地以作耕種。該地區還形成了達爾庫蒂、贊德和班迪等洲份，這些洲份都建於 19 世紀。

法屬赤道非洲更名為中非共和國，並於 1960 年 8 月 13 日宣布獨立。

Dond prospectors in the Central African Republic have found polished flint and quartz tools that are at least 8,000 years old. About 2,500 years ago local farmers set up megaliths weighing several tons each near Bouar. The cooperation necessary to make and position these monuments suggests that they were built by large social units.

By the 15th century CE various groups speaking languages related to those of the present day were living in the area. These peoples lived in relatively isolated small settlements, where they hunted and cleared land for cultivation using the slash-and-burn method. The region also produced such states as Dar al-Kuti, Zande, and Bandi, all founded in the 19th century.

French Equatorial Africa was renamed the Central African Republic and declared independence on August 13, 1960.

SDB IN CAR
The Central African Republic (CAR) belongs to ATE Salesian vice-province with Yaoundé (Cameroon) as its headoffice. There are two communities in CAR, Damala and Galabadja, both in the capital Bangui.
