About Bingerville Old Colonial Capital & Botanical Garden
Bingerville was founded around 1900 as the new capital of French Cote d'Ivoire, replacing Grand-Bassam after a yellow fever epidemic, and was named for colonial governor Louis-Gustave Binger. The colonial administration built government offices, a school, and an experimental botanical garden for tropical agriculture. It served as the colony's capital until 1934.
