Central River Division (formally MacCarthy Island Division) with an area of 3038 sq. km is the largest Local Government Area in the Gambia. The division consists of 10 districts including MacCarthy Island with the headquarter in Janjanbureh (formally Georgetown). Because of difficulties in logistics between the north and south bank the division is sometimes considered as two Local Government Areas, with Kuntaur the de facto headquarters for the north bank and and Janjanbureh the headquarter for the south bank.
