Home / About District 9
A District Rich in Culture, Resilience, and Diversity
District 9 is a district where the traditions of the Mano (Man), Gio (Dan), Gbi, and other tribal groups blend into a shared identity of strength and perseverance.
It is also one of the nine electoral districts in Nimba County, Republic of Liberia — and by far the largest in landmass. Comprising five administrative districts — Mehnsonnoh, Zahnla, Blinlon, Doe, and Gbi-Doru — District 9 is a region defined by natural beauty, cultural richness, and extraordinary potential.
Strategic Location: Bordering four counties — Grand Gedeh, Grand Bassa, Rivercess, and Bong — and lying less than two hours from Côte d’Ivoire and Guinea, District 9 is uniquely positioned for cross-border trade and regional integration.
