Not Freetown.

Wiki says that was founded in 1787 or 1792, depending on which way you look at it

[TOMMO33]

1772 was when slavery was abolished in England, but I don't think any slaves were moved to West Africa until a few years later, when a town was developed in Sierra Leone, and named Freetown. As it is still called Freetown, perhaps it's not the answer.
As for the Nile, it's believed to begin in Burundi.

just checked the Nile and it is Burundi (sorry)
