Adaklu District is one of the eighteen districts in Volta Region, Ghana.[3] It was formerly part of the then-larger Adaklu-Anyigbe District since 13 August 2004. This was until the western part of the district was split off to create Adaklu District on 28 June 2012 with the other part of the old district renamed as Agotime-Ziope District (under the then-president John Atta Mills government).[4] The district assembly is located in the central part of Volta Region and has Adaklu Waya as its capital town.
