About Liberia
Liberia's coastline stretches from the Mano River in the
north-west to the River Cavally in the south-east; almost 600 kilometres.
Countries neighbouring Liberia are: Sierra
Leone, Guinea and
Cote d'Ivoire.
Liberia was born out of the American Colonisation Society, founded
in 1816 to resettle freed American slaves in Africa.
Native rulers granted an area of land to US representatives for this
purpose.
The site was Cape Mesurado, at the mouth of the St Paul River.
The new colony was christened Liberia (liberty) and the Cape Mesurado
settlement, Monrovia; in honour of United States President, James Monroe.
Liberia became an independent republic in July 1847.
