Ba ( Fijian pronunciation: [ᵐba] ) is a town in Fiji , 37 kilometres from Lautoka and 62 kilometres from Nadi , inland from the coast of Viti Levu , Fiji's largest island. Covering an area of 327 square kilometres, it had a population of 14,596 at the 1996 census. The town is built on the banks of the Ba River , after which it is named. For a long time, Ba was famous for its soccer team which caused major traffic problems. The old bridge was washed away in the floods of 1990s and a new bridge built downstream. This resulted in the main highway (King's Road) bypassing Ba Town. Jiaxing City in China is Ba Town's sister city.
