Port HarcourtThe Garden City as it is known because of its array of Parks and gardens is the capital of Rivers State and the centre of the oil industry in Nigeria. Even though it did not exist before 1913, there are two historic parts nearby which were connected formerly with slave trade - Bonny and Brass - which are now oil terminals. Before the discovery of oil Port Harcourt was populated mainly by fishermen.
