ABORA STATE

The Abora State, previously comprising Kwaman, Abeadze Dominase, Anomabo, Kurentsi Amanmfu, Ekumfi, Nkusukrum, and Enyan, originated from the Bɔrbɔr Mfantse migrants, who are part of the Yawanfo, the largest Akan tribe. The Yawanfo migrated from Central Africa to the Guinea seaboard around 1056, settling temporarily before moving to the outlying territories near the Kong Mountains and eventually joining the Bono tribes at Krako, near Takyiman in 1100.

The three parent groups that joined the Bono tribes were the Takyimanfo, Amuamanfo, and Yawanfo, to which Abora belonged. Following a dispute between the Takyimanfo and Yawanfo, the latter migrated to the Guinea seaboard around 1200. The Abora people then migrated from Takyiman and settled at Mankesim in 1250.

A rich cultural heritage.
