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] References1. ^{{cite map|title= Maps|publisher=Google Maps}} {{Liberia-geo-stub}}2. ^{{cite book|last=Huband|first=Mark|title=The Liberian Civil War|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=X1BVJZMDYMwC&pg=PA214|accessdate=28 April 2012|date=30 June 1998|publisher=Psychology Press|isbn=978-0-7146-4785-2|page=214}} 3. ^{{cite web|url=http://www.scotsman.com/news/a_year_after_liberia_s_bloody_civil_war_1_1395714|title=A year after Liberia's bloody civil war|publisher=The Scotsman| date=11 July 2004|accessdate=28 April 2012}} 4. ^{{cite book|last=Corsun|first=Andrew|title=Significant Incidents of Political Violence Against Americans|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=DznayVIrczQC&pg=PA21|accessdate=28 April 2012|year=1995|publisher=United States.
