Freetown, population 1,070,200 (2004), is the largest city and capital of Sierra Leone, lying on the Freetown Peninsula on the Atlantic coast.
In 1792, Freetown was founded by former slaves from Nova Scotia, and survived being pillaged by the French in 1794.
Freetown's suburbs stretch along the coast, forming a working class East End of Wellington, Kissy, Cline Town, Fourah Bay, Kossa Town and Foulah Town and a bourgeois West End of Congo Town, Murray Town, Wilberforce and Aberdeen.
