Maryland County

Maryland County is the south-easternmost county of Liberia, on the border with Côte d'Ivoire, with its capital at Harper. It covers the territory of the former Republic of Maryland, founded by African American settlers at Cape Palmas, which was annexed to Liberia in 1857 after a war with the Grebo. Its economy rests on rubber, farming and fishing.
