The Mellacorée River is a short riverinGuinea. Most of its lower part is an estuary.[1]

History[edit]

The Mellacorée River was one of the "Southern Rivers," a territory gradually occupied by the French between 1860 and 1880 and placed under the authority of the governor of Senegal before becoming the colony of Guinea. A military outpost was established in 1866 in Benty, at the mouth of the river.[2]
