In Liberia, there are various stereotypes used to refer to the different groups of people. They hold deep roots in cultural practices and ethnic ways of life. They are often used to describe people based on the primary food of specific groups, ways of dressing, explicit passion for special careers, and so forth.

If you have ever been to Buchanan, Grand Bassa County, you will know that it is a home away from home. Liberians are generally friendly people with a welcoming gesture, but there’s one city in which hospitality resides abundantly: Buchanan.
Buchanan is a small port city along the coastline of Liberia extending into the Atlantic. It has Liberia’s second-largest seaport and is the capital of Grand Bassa County, the traditional home of the Bassa ethnic group within Liberia.

In Grand Bassa County, the city of Buchanan stands out as a center of tourist attraction and a popular area for trips and weekend gatherings for people from Monrovia and internationals. Its beautiful beaches greet you with wonderful sceneries and the iconic port stands lighted deep in the Atlantic at midnight.
