Zinder, city, south central Niger. It is a commercial and processing center for an agricultural region that produces cassava and millet; beverages and leather goods are the principal manufactures. The city has an airport and is linked to Niger's capital, Niamey, by a road completed in 1980. Located on an ancient trans-Saharan trade route, Zinder was, from the 16th to the 19th century, the capital of a Muslim state. The town was taken by the French in 1899 and served as capital of the Niger colony from 1922 to 1926. Population (1988) 120,900.
