Liberia is an unincorporated community in Warren County, North Carolina, United States. The community is located at the junction of North Carolina Highway 43 and North Carolina Highway 58, which connect Rocky Mount and Wilson respectively to the county seat at Warrenton. A predominantly African-American community, Liberia was founded after the Civil War; it was named for the African nation of Liberia, where many freed slaves migrated to after the war.
