Atwima Kwanwoma District

Atwima Kwanwoma District is one of the forty-three districts in Ashanti Region, Ghana.[1] It was originally part of the then-larger Botsomtwe-Atwima-Kwanwoma District on 10 March 1989, after being created from the former Ejisu-Juaben-Bosomtwe District. Later on, part of the district was split off in 2008 to become Atwima-Kwanwoma District; thus the remaining original part was renamed as Bosomtwe District. The district assembly is located in the central part of Ashanti Region and has Twedie as its capital town.
