Big Zangar Town is located along the Grand Bassa Highway approaching Compound #1. The town was named after a man called, 'Joe Zangar' who founded and established this town in 1830. The main source of water for this town had been the nearby creek then later to an open hand dug wells in addition to what they already had as a source of water. Population is large with mostly women and children. They suffered from sicknesses like typhoid, diarrhea and running stomach due to the unsafe drinking water they get from the open hand dug wells and or from the nearby creek. Big Zangar Town does not have latrines and the environment is poorly manage because of these unhealthy conditions. There is no access to school. All the men, women and children are all engaged in farming activities to sustain their livelihood.
