Jaman South Municipal District

Jaman South Municipal District is one of the twelve districts in Bono Region, Ghana. Originally created as an ordinary district assembly in 10 March 1989 when it was known as Jaman District, after being created from the former Berekum-Jaman District within the then-larger Brong-Ahafo Region. Later on, part of the district was split off to create Jaman North District on 12 November 2003; thus the remaining original part became Jaman South District.[1] It was later upgraded to municipal district assembly status on November 2017, and has been renamed as Jaman South Municipal District. The municipality is located in the western part of Bono Region and has Drobo as its capital town.[2]
