Angola is a city mentioned in the Book of Mormon. It was located near or in the north countries and was the site of a portion of the long and final battle between the Nephites and the Lamanites.
The city is identified in only one verse, Mormon 2:4. The Nephites retreated towards the north countries and came to Angola and fortified the city during the period of A.C. 327-328, but were unable to withstand the Lamanites' attacks and were driven from the city.[1] Mormon 2:5 might be interpreted in such a way as to suggest that Angola was located somewhere in the land of David.[2]
