Anloga District
Administrative district in Volta Region, Ghana
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Anloga Municipal is one of the eighteen districts in Volta Region, Ghana. Originally it was formerly part of the then-larger Keta District on 10 March 1989, which was created from the former Anlo District Council. However on 19 February 2019, the western part of the district was split off to create Anloga District (which is now Anloga Municipal Assembly) as one of six districts inaugurated by the Akufo-Addo Government,[3][4] thus the remaining part has been retained as Keta Municipal District. The Municipal assembly is located in the southwest part of the Keta basin in the southern part of the Volta Region and has Anloga, the spiritual, cultural and traditional capital of the Anlo Kingdom as its Municipal capital town.
