Cape Mount

Also known as Grand Cape Mount

Cape Mount is a headland and coastal district in north-western Liberia, near the border with Sierra Leone, home mainly to the Vai people. From the 18th century its anchorage was a centre of trade, including the slave trade, between the interior and European ships. It is now Grand Cape Mount County, with its capital at Robertsport.
