Visit Montserrado County

Montserrado County, located in the northwestern region of Liberia, serves as the political and commercial hub of the country. It's home to the vibrant capital city, Monrovia, named after U.S. President James Monroe. The county boasts a blend of rich history, cultural diversity, and natural beauty. Tourists can visit the picturesque Providence Island, known as the first landing site of the freed American slaves who founded Liberia. The island offers a glimpse into the nation's past with monuments and historical markers. Another must-visit is the Centennial Pavilion, an architectural gem built to commemorate Liberia's 100 years of independence. A lesser-known fact about Montserrado County is that it was heavily impacted by the Ebola outbreak in 2014, but the resilient spirit of its people has since led to significant recovery and growth.
