Paynesville
Paynesville (sometimes Paynesward) is a suburb east of Monrovia, Liberia.
It is geographically larger than the city of Monrovia.
It is expanding eastward along the Robertsfield Highway and northeastward beyond Red Light Market, one of the largest market areas in Liberia.
Paynesville is often considered a part of the Greater Monrovia area. It was the location of the Paynesville Omega Transmitter, the highest structure in Africa,
until the tower's demolition in 2011. The Liberia Broadcasting System is also located in Paynesville. The Liberian Judo Federation is based in Paynesville.
Monrovia
Monrovia (/mənˈroʊviə/) is the administrative capital and largest city of Liberia.
Founded in 1822, it is located on Cape Mesurado on the Atlantic coast. As the nation's primate city,
Monrovia is the country's economic, financial and cultural center; its economy is primarily centered on its
harbor and its role as the seat of Liberian government. The city's economy is largely based on
its position as chief Atlantic port of Liberia, with the Freeport of Monrovia based in the city being the largest and main port in the country.
