Freetown

Established for freed slaves in the 1780's, the Krio from North America and the Caribbean brought their language and culture with them; Creole remains the primary language today. When the first slaves came to Freetown, they settled around a cotton tree. This same cotton tree continues to grow in Freetown today. Civil war claimed the city from 1991-2002, but the town has bloomed since the end of the war with hotels and tourist friendly activities. Sitting on Africa's largest natural harbor, Freetown has many beaches that are world-reowned to be clean and beautiful, particularly Lumney.
