Abidjan was originally a small Atchan fishing village. After a series of deadly yellow fever epidemics, French colonist who had initially settled in Grand-Bassam decided to move to a safer place and in 1898 chose the current location of Abidjan. In 1903, Abidjan officially became a town. It quickly expanded as a city after the construction of a new wharf in 1931 and is the economic capital of Cote d’Ivoire and one of the most populous French-speaking cities in Africa. Some top sights in Abidjan include; Parc National du Banco, St.Paul’s Cathedral, Musee des Civilisatons de Cote d’Ivoire, Jardin Botanique de Bingerville, Cecile Fakhoury Gallery, Plateau Mosque, and several others.
