Agogo is approximately 80 kilometers east of Kumasi the Ashanti capital. The Agogo 2000 census recorded a population of 28,271. Computer projections of the population estimate a 2007 population of 32,859. ==History== Around the year 1500, the people of the Aduana Clan in Asantemanso, who were from Esumegya, dispersed to settle in different places in the country. The group that settled at Nyanawase under Ansa Sasraku moved again after a series of wars with the Ashantis and the Gas; they decided to settle in Akwamu. In or around the year 1600, three chiefs of the Aduana Clan: Ofori Krobon (of Agogo), Ntori Nimpa (of Kwaman) and Effa Kai (of Kumawu) left Akwamu and joined forces under the command of Ofori Krobon of Agogo to fight and defeat Ataara Finam, which was the Supreme Ruler of the Afram Plains at that time. This war lasted almost three years. All the land controlled by the vanquished Ataara finam was annexed to the three stools who were independent of each other. Because of this annexation, the three stools - Agogo, Kumawu and Kwaman - all controlled some of the most extensive land possessions in the Ashanti Union. Their lands extended to Akwamu, to the Volta Region, to Brong Ahafo and to parts of the Northern Region. Meanwhile, the people of Agogo settled in Santenso, which is where the three-year war with Ataara finam came to an end. Like all other Asante States, the people of Agogo had remained an independent entity until the need to form a Union of States became apparent. The people of Agogo did not take a direct part in the Denkyira war in 1698 which concluded in the liberation of Asanteman from Denkyira under Ashanti King Asantehene Osei Tutu I. However, they did contribute men and materials to support the Ashanti Forces. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Agogo, Ghana」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
