Sanloi was a pirates haven on the coast of Bangalla until the 6th Phantom destroyed them by defeating Redbeard, Sala, Bart and Crusher in the famous showdown.

After that with the Jungle Patrol headquarters nearby the town became a peaceful and prosperous place with lots of trade. It was eventually sacked in 1688 by the the pirate Tease. Since then the town has stayed small and is like a small fishing / tourist village.

Even today the buildings style is of the Arab / Mediterranean ocean style with a protected harbour.
