According to The Book of Mormon, the city of Angola was located near or in the north countries and was the site of a portion of the long and final battle between the Nephites and the Lamanites. The city is mentioned in only one verse, Mormon 2:4. The Nephites retreated towards the north countries and came to Angola and fortified the city, but were unable to withstand the Lamanites' attacks and were driven from the city. Mormon 2:5 might be interpreted in such a way as to suggest that Angola was located somewhere in the land of David.
