Barclayville is the capital of Grand Kru County in the southeastern part of the West African country of Liberia, located inland from the Atlantic coast, about 400 kilometers from the capital city of Monrovia. Named after Arthur Barclay, the 19th-century president of Liberia, the city is the administrative, commercial and cultural center of the area. The economy is predominantly agricultural, with rubber, palm oil, rice and tropical fruits abundant in the surrounding area, and the inhabitants are mostly engaged in traditional farming and fishing. Despite its relatively poor infrastructure, Barclayville has a unique natural landscape, with the surrounding rainforest and coastline attracting a small number of eco-tourists. The local culture retains traditional Liberian Kru practices, with music, dance and crafts being important cultural symbols. As the core town of Grand Cape Mount County, Barclayville plays a key role in regional development by connecting inland and coastal trade.
