  • Zwedru is the capital of Grand Gedeh County, one of the 15 counties in Liberia. Zwedru is located in Tchien District of Grand Gedeh County, near the Cavalla River in the country's south-eastern region and near the border with Côte d'Ivoire. It is located 350 miles southeast from the capital city of Monrovia. The town is a stronghold of the Krahn tribe. The town gets its name after the head of a local anteater creek. Zwedru is surrounded by a lot of forests, and lies in a tropical region. The north-western section of Zwedru has an important forest region with rare bird species. Before the Liberian Civil War, Zwedru was known for timber production and its wood products industry. As of the 2008 census, Zwedru has a population of 23,903 making it the largest settlement east of Cestos River. Of this, 11,828 were male and 12,075 female.Zwedru residents are mainly Krahn, Mandingo, Fulani and Gio and Mano tribes. Zwedru is the largest metropolis in the southeast and is the key inland transportation point in the region. The intersection of the two main highways linking the 5 counties in the region lies some 7 miles southwest of the city. The William D.Coleman Airfield with its gravel surfaced runway, lies within the city limits and provides only domestic services. Zwedru, like its host county, is landlocked and has no form of water transport. The city is well planned, with some claiming it to have the best road system outside Montserrado County. Motorcycles, locally called penpen provide transport for most of the people. Trucks transport bulk of the goods that enter the city from Monrovia or Guinea. Communication in the city has made significant progress as seen in the media sector where few radio stations have erected in post war era. There are 3 FM radio stations that serve the city and there is no domestic Television service. Smile FM is the oldest radio station in Zwedru and is the only community run media institution. Top FM and Flash FM are the other two and are under private operations. The state own broadcasting TV network does not reach the city due to its low range coverage. A newspaper recently began publishing in the area. Liberia's two main GSM companies_Lonestar and Orange_ all have steel towers in Zwedru. As the main population center in the county and the region as a whole, Zwedru has many entertainment centers, Hotels, Motels and Guest Houses. The now nonoperational 'First Step' Bar and Restaurant used to be the leader of night life in the city. But today, the Cash Bar and Restaurant has gained huge prominence in the whole county. Other important clubs are the Florida Bar and Restaurant which also operates a Guest house, Ottar Green village, Moon Light and King Lodge. Faith Restaurant, which sits opposite the Tubman palace, home of the county's superintendent, is a renowned food center. Monjue Hotel, located few kilometers from the city center also offers 24 hours middle class services.
