Fish Town is the capital city of River Gee County, Liberia.

[1] Fish Town earned its name after a nearby creek, called Neseme.

Later, the use of English became compulsory and speaking Palipo or other dialects was prohibited.

The interior was mapped in 1933, during the administration of President Edwin J. Barclay, and divided into three provinces: Eastern, Central, and Western.

Until 2000, River Gee and Grand Gedeh Counties were separate districts; River Gee came out of Webbo District that was administered by Maryland County and Grand Gedeh came out of Tchien District administered by Sinoe County.
