In 1933, during the administration of president Edwin J. Barclay, the interior was graphed and founded the provinces, bringing about Eastern Province, Central province and Western province. Before, today River Gee and today Grand Gedeh were separate districts, while 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 and the both districts made up the Eastern Province, which in 1964 became Grand Gedeh.
Famous quotes containing the words fish and/or town:
“Hurry, Godfather death,
Mister tyranny,
each message you give
has a dance to it,
a fish twitch,
a little crotch dance.”
—Anne Sexton (1928–1974)
“No annual training or muster of soldiery, no celebration with its scarfs and banners, could import into the town a hundredth part of the annual splendor of our October. We have only to set the trees, or let them stand, and Nature will find the colored drapery,—flags of all her nations, some of whose private signals hardly the botanist can read,—while we walk under the triumphal arches of the elms.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
