Article History

Settat, city, central Morocco. Situated on the coastal plain immediately south of Casablanca, the city is the largest market centre in the fertile Chaouia coastal plain. Settat’s most notable feature is a late 17th-century casbah built by the ʿAlawī ruler Mawlāy Ismāʿīl. The city is connected by road and railway with Casablanca to the north and Marrakech to the south.

The area around Settat has a high-density rural population, and Settat is a natural agricultural-market centre. The area is one of the principal truck-gardening areas for Casablanca. Pop. (2004) 116,570.
