Juaboso District
District in Western North Region, Ghana
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Juaboso District is one of the nine districts in Western North Region, Ghana.[3][4][5][6][7][8] Originally it was formerly part of the then-larger Juaboso-Bodi District in August 2004, which was created from the former Sefwi-Bibiani District Council, until the southeast part of the district was split off to create Bodi District on 28 June 2012; thus the remaining part has been renamed as Juaboso District. The district assembly is located in the northwest part of Western North Region and has Juaboso as its capital town.
