Abidjan is the largest city and former capital of Côte d'Ivoire. Abidjan is a major sea port. Major industries include food processing, lumber, automobile manufacturing, and the manufacture of textiles, chemicals, and soap. There is also a large oil refinery.

In 1983, Yamoussoukro was designated as the nation's capital, but most government offices and foreign embassies are still in Abidjan. The University of Abidjan , several technical colleges, and the national library and museum are in the city.

A 1995 estimate placed Abidjan’s population at around 2,793,000.
