Yarbutenda (write variant: Yarbu Tenda or French Yarboutenda ) of the 19th century was to end Fattatenda a French (even commercial establishment Faktorei called) of the Compagnie Française d'Afrique Occidentale in the West African country Gambia .
The site is now in the Upper River Region in the Kantora district . Yarbutenda, about four kilometers from Koina and 42 kilometers from Basse Santa Su , was on the Gambia River and had a dock there. The tidal range of the Atlantic Ocean is still noticeable up to here, about 500 river kilometers inland.
In the history of the Gambia , the border region and the trading post were always controversial, so Yarbutenda was handed over to the French with the Treaty of Utrecht (1713) from the Kingdom of Great Britain and later, in 1904, again.
