A Dictionary of the Book of Mormon/Angola

by George Reynolds

ANGOLA. A city occupied by the Nephites under Mormon (A. C. 327-8), when retreating before the forces of the Lamanites. The Nephites made vigorous efforts to fortify it, but did not succeed in preventing its capture by the Lamanites. It is only once mentioned in the Book of Mormon and appears to have been situated near the northern extremity of the Southern Continent.
