Farim is a town of northern Guinea-Bissau. It sits on the north bank of the Farim/Cacheu River, about 135 miles up the river from Cacheu. Farim was founded about 1641 by the Captain-Major of Cacheu, who recruited lançados from Geba to move to where they would be less vulnerable to attack by African tribes. The name derived from farim, the title of the local Mandinka people’s ruler. For their part, the Mandinkas and Soninke called the settlement Tubabodaga (“village of the whites”). It was well-situated as a port, since the river was continuously navigable by sailing vessels from Cacheu.
