Monrovia, the capital of Liberia, was named after James Monroe, the fifth President of the United States. Monroe was a strong supporter of the American Colonization Society, which aimed to resettle free African Americans in Africa. The city was established in 1822 as a settlement for freed slaves, and naming it after Monroe honored his role in the colonization efforts and the connection between the U.S. and the founding of Liberia.
