Mellacorée River

The Mellacorée River is a short river in Guinea. Most of its lower part is an estuary.

History
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.
