Fishtown (Liberia) : ウィキペディア英語版 | Fish Town
Fish Town is the capital city of River Gee County, Liberia. As of the 2008 national census, the population stood at 3,328. ==Origin==
Fish Town earned its name after a nearby creek, called Neseme. In the Grebo language, ''Ne'' is water or river/creek and ''Seme''. Initially, Fish Town was called Nesemekon or “on top of Neseme” consistent with the Grebo naming convention for towns and villages. Later, the use of English became compulsory and speaking Palipo or other dialects was prohibited. English was required on school campuses and students translated the name of the town into English renaming Nesemekon to Fish Town. 〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=The Story Behind the Name How Fish Town in River Gee Got its Name )〕
