Entebbe is located on the shore of Lake Victoria near the capital city of Kampala and has a population of around 90 500 people. Entebbe means 'a seat' in the local Luganda language. It was probably named because it was the place where a local chief used to come to adjudicate legal cases. Entebbe International Airport, the main airport of Uganda, was built in 1947. Operation Entebbe, an Israeli operation to free the hostages of a hijack, took place at this airport in 1976. Although no ships land there now, there is still a jetty at Entebbe, which was used by Lake Victoria ferries.
