'''Limbe''' (ankaŭ '''Limbé'''; antaŭe, 1858–1982: '''Victoria''') estas marborda urbo en la Sud-Okcidenta regiono de Kamerunio. Brita baptisma misiisto [[Alfred Saker]] fondis ĝin en 1858 sur la suda deklivo de [[Monto Kameruno]]. Li nomis la novan urbon Victoria laŭ la nomo de la tiama brita reĝino. Laŭ la censo de 2005, la loĝantaro nombriĝis 84,223.
==Historio==
<!--Victoria was founded by the British missionary [[Alfred Saker]] of the [[BMS World
Mission|Baptist Missionary Society]] of London in June 1858. Due to this treaty, initially Victoria and its vicinity was not part of the new German colony [[Kamerun]] and remained under British administration. On May 7, 1886 Great Britain and Germany agreed to exchange Victoria and its vicinity for German rights at the [[Forcados River]] in [[Nigeria]] and St. Lucia in [[South Africa]]. On March 28, 1887 Victoria and its vicinity were handed over to the German administration. At the same time Swiss Presbyterian missionaries bought the land from the Baptist Missionary Society in 1887.
Victoria became British again in 1915. In 1982 Victoria was renamed and is since then known as Limbe.-->▼
