Tessaoua is a city located in the Maradi Region of Niger. It has a population of 31,667 (2001 census). Tessaoua is historically an important city in its region. It is situated in a central geographical location. Tessaoua is a midpoint on a historical trade route between Agadez, Niger in the north and Kano, Nigeria in the south. More important to modern Niger, Tessaoua is nearly half-way between the regional capitals of Maradi and Zinder on the one main East/West road in Niger. Zinder used to be the capital of Niger until the French colonialists moved the capital west to Niamey, where it was in closer proximity to others of the French West African holdings and thus easier to manage. Tessaoua used to be a regional capital, until political power was shifted to Maradi. Maradi is still the regional capital today.
