Notes

Because Danané is close to the Guinean and Liberian borders, it became a destination for refugees during the Liberian Civil War. By the end of 1999, the town of Danané had overgrown its boundaries and swallowed up a number of small villages around it. Many Liberians who were resettled around the world resided in Danané for a period of time.
