Quick Facts About Liberia

|
Liberia, officially the Republic of Liberia, is a country in West Africa bordered by Sierra Leone to its west, Guinea to its north and Côte d’Ivoire to its east. It covers an area of 111,369 km² and is home to about 3.7 million people.
From antiquity through the 1700s, many ethnic groups from the surrounding regions settled in the area, making Liberia one of Africa’s most culturally rich and diverse countries. Settled in the early 1800s by freeborn Blacks , former slaves from America and ex-Caribbean slaves
, Liberia, whose name means “land of freedom,” has always struggled with its double cultural heritage: that of the settlers and of the indigenous Africans.
The people of Liberia are known to be very hospitable and helpful. Our national currency is known as the Liberty Dollar (LD), but the USD is also widely used throughout the country. Though the official language is English, there are over thirty indigenous languages also spoken here. Our coastline is composed of the Atlantic Ocean, while inland one can find the treasures of various lagoons, river, lakes, mountains, and rain forest. Liberia offers two seasons, the Rainy Season with significant rainfall from May–October and The Dry Season where the climate is tropical and filled with sunny skies for the remainder of the year.
