Gardnersville or Gardnersville is a town in central-northern suburb of Monrovia, Liberia. It is widely regarded as being a part of Samie Town and Barnesville. However, because the boundaries remain unclear, Gardnersville is generally referred as a suburb. The area is one of the 16 zones that the city of Monrovia is comprised of.
Gardnersville was often used by the warring factions as a demarcation line of the war front during the Liberian civil wars of 1989 – 2003. As a result, many battles were fought in this suburb thus resulting to heavy causalities in the loss of lives and properties. The suburb gained notoriety as the area where five Catholic nuns were brutally murdered by rebel soldiers of the National Patriotic Front of Liberia (NPFL) during their “Operation Octopus” war campaign to overrun the capital city of Monrovia.
