Limbe

The city name Limbe is believed to originate from a mispronunciation of a German engineer's name, Limburgh.

Limbe was acknowledged by the Cameroonian government for its role in the trade of slaves.

The native language of the region is Bakweri, with a smaller group speaking Bimbia or Isubu.

Limbe is one of two coastal towns in Cameroon that are popular among Western tourists due to its black sand beaches.

Limbe is the center of Cameroon's oil industry and is home to the only oil refinery company, SONARA.
