Careysburg District
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Careysburg District is one of four districts located in Montserrado County, Liberia.
The city of Careysburg was first settled in 1856 by freed slaves from the United States and Barbados. The location away from the Liberian coast was chosen for health reasons, because of the high death rate due to mosquito-spread diseases among early settlers on the coast. Careysburg was named for former American slave Rev. Lott Carey.
