The story

During Portuguese rule in Cape Verde which lasted until 1975, all postal services were done by Correios de Portugal (Portuguese Post). Its first post office was opened in Praia in 1849. Under law no. 9-A/95 made on 16 February 1995, the public company of posts and telecommunications (Empresa Pública dos Correios e Telecomunicaçöes, (CTT-EP) was split into two: Correios de Cabo Verde (postal service) and Cabo Verde Telecom (telecommunications). Both became anonymous societies with limited responsibility.
