Arthington, Liberia

Arthington is a small town in Liberia along the Saint Paul River, located northwest of the capital city of Monrovia. It is mainly known as the hometown of former President Charles Taylor, the country's 22nd president.
==History==

The town is named after Robert Arthington, an attorney and philanthropist from Leeds, England who contributed money for former slaves from the Southern United States to emigrate to Liberia and to increase access to Liberia's interior.〔(American Colonization Society, ''The African Repository'' )〕
Arthington was settled in 1869 by 79 African-American immigrants from Windsor, North Carolina.〔Burrowes, Carl Patrick. (''Power And Press Freedom In Liberia, 1830-1970'' )〕 People from the U.S. states of South Carolina and Georgia also provided what later came to be known as the Americo-Liberian population of the town.〔〔(Eric DeWayne Jackson, Lowndes County Georgia: List Of Emigrants To Arthington, Liberia )〕
The town was once known for producing sugarcane, coffee, and ginger, and was the location of one of Liberia’s most prosperous trading companies in the late 19th century.〔
