The North Bank Division, occupies the western third of the north bank of the Gambia from Barra to the border with Lower Saloum in Central River with Senegal's Kaolack and Fatick regions to the north. The Upper Baddibu is the larges and most populous of the 6 districts in the Division. The headquarter is Kerewan although Farafenni the most populous and Barra compete for the economic capital of the division. Until the expansion of the Ferry services to Barra and the construction of the bridge across Mini Minyang Bolon at Kerewan, the Division had suffered a great deal due to poor access to Banjul.
