Location of Buchanan in Liberia

Buchanan is the second largest port in Liberia, lying on Waterhouse Bay, part of the Atlantic Ocean. Named for James Buchanan, it is also the capital of Grand Bassa and lies east of Monrovia. The town was popular with refugees during the Liberian Civil War as it largely escaped the fighting. Fishing is another important industry in the town.


Buchanan is the port for the dormant railway to the iron ore mines at Nimba.
