Providence Island was the first arrival point of freed American Slaves (1822). Physical remains of that period include a land dock, ancient well, original foundations and the oldest cotton tree of Liberia. It lies near the mouth to the Atlantic Ocean; nowadays it is connected with a bridge to Monrovia.
