Yopougon

Yopougon extends across both northern and southern banks of the Ébrié Lagoon, covering 164 square kilometers with a population exceeding 1.5 million residents.

The region underwent substantial development after Abidjan became a French colonial capital, transforming from rural settlements into a major metropolitan district.

Local squares and community centers regularly host traditional celebrations that bring together French and Dioula speaking communities from different ethnic backgrounds.

The district maintains crucial research facilities, including ORSTOM and the Pasteur Institute, which contribute to medical advancements and public health initiatives.

Multiple maquis establishments serve traditional dishes in open-air settings, creating a network of neighborhood dining spots throughout the commune.
