New Kru Town : ウィキペディア英語版 | New Kru Town New Kru Town is a town and northwestern coastal suburb of Monrovia, Liberia. The town grew as a planned "transplant" town of Old Kru Town after World War II when "Old Kru Town was evacuated for the development of a new breakwater for the new port with assistance from the Liberian government". Being located on the corner of the Atlantic Ocean and the Saint Paul River estuary, fishing is an important source of income. A slum area, it has been subject to ethnic tension. ==Notable landmarks==
An "imposing" church was built in New Kru Town in about 1975 by American missionaries. It also contains the Redemption Hospital and the multi-million dollar D. Tweh Memorial High School, "originally named in honor of Tolbert before the 1980 coup". An avenue, Botoe Avenue, is named after Thomas Nimene Botoe.
