Nimba, Administrative county in northeastern Liberia
Nimba County spans 11,551 square miles of land, making it the largest administrative region in Liberia, with mountains and forests extending to Guinea and Côte d'Ivoire borders.
The discovery of iron ore in Mount Nimba during the 1950s led to the establishment of LAMCO, a joint venture between Liberia, US Bethlehem Steel, and Swedish mining company Gränges.
The Dan and Mano peoples constitute the main ethnic groups in Nimba County, alongside smaller communities including Krahn, Gbi, and Doru across various statutory districts.
Nimba County maintains medical facilities such as George Way Harley Hospital in Sanniquellie, while accommodations are available at Nimba Ecolodge near Blue Lake.
East Nimba Nature Reserve encompasses 11,500 hectares of the Mount Nimba Range, featuring Blue Lake, formed from a former mining excavation site.
