The term Krumen (also Kroumen, Kroomen) refers to historical sailors from the Kru people group living mostly along the coast of Liberia[1] and Côte d’Ivoire.[2] One theory, advanced in the 1911 Encyclopædia Britannica, was that the term Kru or Krumen derived from Klao, which is the name of the Kru in their language.[1] Their numbers were estimated to be 48,300 in 1993, of whom 28,300 were in Côte d’Ivoire.[2] They are a subgroup of the Grebo and speak the Krumen language.
