Blantyre is the commercial and industrial capital of Malawi and the country's oldest municipality, with a population of just over 900,000 and a metropolitan area approaching twice that. The city observes Central Africa Time (CAT, UTC+2) year-round on the Africa/Blantyre zone, and Malawi does not observe daylight saving. Founded in 1876 as a Church of Scotland mission and named after the Scottish birthplace of explorer David Livingstone, it grew rapidly after the African Lakes Company arrived in 1878 and became a British consular post in 1883. Set in the Shire Highlands of southern Malawi at about 1,040 metres, Blantyre hosts the Malawi Stock Exchange, eight industrial estates and historic landmarks such as Mandala House and St Michael and All Angels Church, alongside light manufacturing in milling, brewing, tobacco and textiles.
