About Libreville

Libreville is the capital and largest city of Gabon, in west central Africa. The city is a port on the Komo River, near the Gulf of Guinea, and a trade center for a timber region. As of 2012 its population was estimated at 797,003. The area was inhabited by the Mpongwé tribe long before the French acquired the land in 1839. In 1846, the slave ship Elizia was captured by the French navy near Loango, and fifty-two of the freed slaves were resettled on the site of Libreville (French for "Freetown") in 1849. It was the chief port of French Equatorial Africa from 1934 to 1946 and was the central focus of the Battle of Gabon in 1940. Libreville features a tropical monsoon climate with a lengthy wet season and a short dry season.
