| | Monrovia |
 | | Monrovia has a population estimated at nearly 1.5 million people, nearly half the entire population the entire country of Liberia. |
 | | There are things that Monrovia once had which it will take many years to restore - running water, electricity, sewer system, telephone, garbage collection, and public buildings such as the Executive Mansion and the various edifices of the government ministries. |
 | | Because the soil around Monrovia was poor and the coastal areas were covered in dense jungle, many early emigrants to Liberia moved up the nearby St. Paul's River, where they found land suitable for farming. |
