Saint Paul River

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Saint Paul River is a river of western Africa. Its headwaters are in southeastern Guinea. Its upper portion in Guinea is known as the Diani or Niandi River, and forms part of the boundary between Guinea and Liberia. The river then enters Liberia about 50 km (30 miles) north of Gbarnga and crosses Liberia in a southwesterly direction. It empties into the Atlantic Ocean at Cape Mesurado in Monrovia, separating Monrovia from its suburb Brewerville.

The river was named by Portuguese navigators in the 15th century, who first sighted the river on St. Paul's feast day.
