Caldwell is a township located in Montserrado County, Liberia. Caldwell was one of the four townships established in the first wave of colonization (between 1822 and 1827).[1] It is listed as one of the original settlements comprising the Commonwealth of Liberia in the 1839 Constitution, which was drafted by the American Colonization Society.[2] The name comes from Elias B. Caldwell and family, about 1816, Presbyterians in what became Caldwell, New Jersey.[3]: 5
