About the City of Abidjan

Satellite view is showing Abidjan, chief port, largest city and the former capital of

Côte d'Ivoire. The city is de facto the capital and the commercial center of Côte d'Ivoire.

Abidjan is located on Ébrié Lagoon at the coast to the Gulf of Guinea (Atlantic Ocean). The city has a population of about 4 to 5 million inhabitants. Capital city of Côte d'Ivoire is Yamoussoukro. Spoken languages are French and Dioula (Bambara).

At the edge of Abidjan's Parc du Banco is a small river that serves as a wash-house, where the fanicos (laundry men) work, after collecting the laundry from the whole of the city.

Abidjan was a small village until it became a railway terminus in 1904, and it grew still more after the French enlarged its facilities in the 1920s. Abidjan became the capital of France’s Ivory Coast colony in 1934 and the capital of the independent nation of Côte d'Ivoire when it became independent in 1960.
