Monrovia, the Capital of Liberia: A Port City on the Atlantic Ocean
Monrovia, the capital and largest city of the Republic of Liberia, is located on the Atlantic coast of West Africa at Cape Mesurado and is the political, economic and cultural center of the country. Founded in 1822 by American colonists and named after James Monroe, the fifth president of the United States, the city was once one of the major settlements for African Americans. As home to the Port of Monrovia, it is Liberia's most important maritime hub and is responsible for much of the country's import and export trade, mainly exporting rubber, diamonds, palm oil and other materials. The city blends African traditions with European and American colonial culture, and its iconic Freeport, National Museum, and waterfront promenade showcase its diverse appeal. Despite its infrastructural challenges, Monrovia remains an important regional city in West Africa and carries Liberia's historical memory and hopes for development.
