Grand Gedeh County, Administrative county in southeastern Liberia

Grand Gedeh County spans 10,480 square kilometers of tropical forests with hills, valleys, and numerous waterways along the Cavalla River in southeastern Liberia.

Created in 1964, Grand Gedeh County gained national attention when Samuel Doe, who led a military coup in 1980, became the first president from this region.

The Zwedru Central Market connects traders from Liberia, Guinea, and Côte d'Ivoire, displaying regional products and traditional goods across national borders.

Travelers should plan for extended journey times, as the road trip from Monrovia to the county capital Zwedru requires approximately fifteen hours during dry season.

The county territory includes sections of the Grebo National Forest, where researchers monitor populations of western chimpanzees in their natural habitat.
