The Windward Coast is an area of West Africa located on the coast between Cape Mount and Assini,[1] i.e. the coastlines of the modern states of Sierra Leone, Liberia and Ivory Coast, to the west of the Gold Coast. A related region is the Pepper Coast. It is called the Windward Coast because it was a place where European sailors met the Atlantic trade winds head-on, windward = upwind, or the direction from which the wind is blowing.
Culture
The Windwarders were renowned for their rice and indigo cultivation.[2]
