Many
years
ago
there
was
a
person
called
'Atiko'
came
from
Sudan
and
started
living
here.
The
name
'Patiko'
means,
anyone
who
belongs
to
Atiko
or
we
can
say
children
of
Atiko.
The
Arab
people
came
here
in
the
year
of
1800
approximately
and
they
started
slave
trade.
That
time
here
the
people
were
using
silent
language
as
the
local
community
speaks
Luo
and
Acholi
language,
which
Arabic
people
didn't
understand.
They
were
using
Bata
System
for
business
due
to
lack
of
currency.
Sir
Samuel
Baker
had
built
the
fort
to
fight
against
slave
trade
in
1872.
Later
on
it
was
occupied
by
Colonel
Charles
Gordon
in
1879.
It
is
considered
as
a
historical
monument
and
opened
as
a
tourist
attraction.
There
are
few
broken
structures
of
fort,
built
by
stones
and
pebbles.
It
is
considerable
that
there
is
no
such
fort
which
is
standing
as
like
in
story
books.
But
the
place
is
nice
and
enjoyable.
There
are
giant
rocks
and
natural
rock
formations
of
various
shapes.
There
is
a
rock,
which
is
naturally
shaped
like
African
map
on
a
part
of
ground.
Can
be
noticed
from
top
of
few
giant
rocks.
The
view
from
the
top
is
very
good
as
there
are
two
hills
around.
Many
tourists
come
to
visit
the
place,
specially
outsiders.
I
wish
our
tourist
friends
will
enjoy
this
place
those
who
like
to
explore
such
places.
