-------------------------------
Obock (also Obok, Ubuk) is a small port town of Djibouti, located on the northern shore of the Gulf of Tadjoura where it opens out into the Gulf of Aden. Population in 2003 is about 8,300.

Obock was originally significant as the site of the first French colony in the region, established by treaty with the local Afar rulers March 11, 1862. The French interest was to have a coaling station for steamships, which would become especially important upon the opening of the Suez Canal in 1869. (Up to that time French ships had to buy coal at the British port of Aden across the gulf, an unwise dependency in case of war.)

By 1885 Obock had 800 inhabitants and a school. However, the anchorage was more exposed than the site of Djibouti on the south side of the Gulf of Tadjoura, and the colonial administration moved there in 1891. Subsequently the population of Obock declined.

At the end of 2002, several thousand US troops came to Obock to train for the 2003 invasion of Iraq.

The town is home to an airstrip and has ferries to Djibouti City, while mangroves lie nearby.
