Grand Kru County

Grand Kru County is an administrative region in southeastern Liberia comprising multiple districts with Barclayville serving as the administrative center. The area is connected by basic road networks that link its various settlements.

The region was formed in 1984 when Sasstown territory and Kru Coast were combined from what had been parts of Sinoe and Maryland Counties. This reorganization created a new administrative unit with its own boundaries.

The Kru language is spoken here alongside Liberian English, and people maintain traditional practices through local ceremonies and community gatherings. These cultural expressions shape how communities live and interact with one another.

Travel within the region relies on basic road networks that require careful navigation due to varying infrastructure conditions. Visitors should be prepared for different road conditions and plan accordingly.

The region is home to populations of pygmy livestock, as larger animal varieties struggle to adapt to local environmental conditions. This adaptation shows how animal life has adjusted to the specific resources available in the area.
