}}Gardnersville or Gardnesville is a town and central-northern suburb of Monrovia, Liberia. It is often considered part of Samie Town and Barnesville; the boundaries are unclear. Gardnersville is the area to the east of Chocolate City but it is better known as a suburb in its own right. Barnesville contains the Ministry of Agriculture and the National Transport Authority headquarters.[1]

During the Liberian Civil War, the area was war torn and thousands of refugees hid in buildings in Gardnersville and Chocolate City.[2][3] On 20 October 1992, two American nuns from the Precious Blood order were ambushed by soldiers of the National Patriotic Front of Liberia and murdered and had their vehicle stolen.[4] In 1993 the situation became so bad that the suburb became inaccessible.[5]
