Conakry is the capital and largest city of Guinea. It is also a port city on the Atlantic Ocean and serves as the economic, financial and cultural center of Guinea with a population of 1,931,184. Originally situated on Tombo Island, it has since spread up the neighboring Kaloum Peninsula.
According to a legend, the name of the city comes from the fusion of the name "Cona", a wine and cheese producer of the Baga people, and the word "nakiri", which means in Sosso the other bank or side. The city was essentially founded after Britain ceded the island to France in 1887.
Conakry is Guinea's largest city and its administrative, communications, and economic center. The city's economy revolves largely around the port, which has modern facilities for handling and storing cargo, through which alumina and bananas are shipped.
