Franceville is one of the four largest cities in Gabon.
It lies on the River Mpassa in Mpassa Department and at the end of the Trans-Gabon Railway and the N3 road.
It grew from a village named Masuku when Pierre Savorgnan de Brazza chose it to resettle former slaves and renamed it Francheville (meaning "city of the freed") in 1880.
The city later came to be called Franceville.
Franceville was renamed Masuku around 1985.
