Its name was changed to N'Djamena (taken from the Arab name of a nearby village meaning "place of rest") by the President François Tombalbaye on April 6, 1973, as part of his authenticité program of Africanization.
The city was partly destroyed during the Chadian Civil War, in 1979 and again in 1980. Many southern, Chadian inhabitants fled at the time, but the population has since regrown strongly. The city had only 9,976 inhabitants in 1937, but a decade later, in 1947, the population had almost doubled at 18,435. After independence in 1968 the population reached 126,483. In 1993 it surpassed half a million with 529,555.
