Freetown, the capital of Sierra Leone, was founded in 1787 as a settlement for freed slaves, primarily from Britain and North America. The name "Freetown" reflects its origins as a place of refuge for those who had been liberated from slavery. It symbolizes hope and freedom, as it was established to provide a new beginning for former enslaved individuals seeking a better life.
