Grand Kru county
The creation of the County evolved from an understanding between members of the military junta and the People’s Redemption Council (PRC), which in 1980 overthrew the Administration of President William R. Tolbert and suspended the Constitution of Liberia. The County emblem, the flag, has three colors : green, yellow and white. The flag has ten vertical stripes ; four green, four yellow and two white, with a palm tree in the center. In the upper left-hand corner is the Liberian flag.
