Edina is a city in Liberia, a country on the west coast of Africa. Liberia has a complex history, marked by the settlement of freed American slaves in the early 19th century. The American Colonization Society established the Republic of Liberia in 1847, making it one of Africa’s first independent republics. Edina itself was founded by repatriated African Americans in 1832.
Liberia has faced challenges over the years, including political instability, civil wars, and economic difficulties. The Liberian Civil Wars, which lasted from 1989 to 2003, significantly impacted the country and its cities, including Edina. The wars resulted in widespread displacement, loss of life, and infrastructural damage.
