Littoral, Administrative region in western Cameroon.
The Littoral Region spans across the western coast of Cameroon, containing four departments and the city of Douala as its administrative center.
The region's capital Douala started as multiple villages before becoming a German protectorate in 1884, developing into a major commercial center.
The Littoral Region features strong Sawa cultural traditions, with Douala's inhabitants speaking French, English, and local languages including Duala.
The region's port in Douala manages most of Cameroon's international trade, processing exports of oil, cocoa, coffee, timber, and fruits.
The Wouri River estuary divides the region, connected by a 1,800-meter bridge that supports both road and rail traffic to western Cameroon.
