Ho West District is one of the eighteen districts in Volta Region, Ghana.[2] It was formerly part of the then-larger Ho District, created on 10th March,1989. The Ho West District was created on the 28th of June 2012 when the western part of the Ho District was split off; thus the remaining part was elevated to municipal district assembly status, in that same year to become Ho Municipal District. The district assembly is located in the central part of Volta Region and has Dzolokpuita as its capital town.
Plans are already underway to split the Ho West District, due to slow development, large size and extreme length, stretching several kilometers from the north of the North Tongu District to the northern part of the Afadzato South District
Ho West District covers the same area as the Ho West Constituency.[3]
Boundaries
The North Tongu District is to the south of the Ho West District and the Asuogyaman District to the south west. To the north is the Afadzato South District. The Ho Municipality, Adaklu District and the Republic of Togo are east of the district and the South Dayi District to the west.[4]
