Koforidua
Koforidua, also popularly known as K-dua, is a city and capital of Eastern Region in south Ghana. Koforidua has a settlement population of 127,334 people in 2012.〔
Koforidua serves as a commercial center for the Eastern region and New-Juaben Municipal district. The city is home to many businesses, with the exception of heavy duty industries, and the recent construction of the four-lane highway road linking Adeiso and Koforidua to Oyoko brings commerce to the city. The highway also serves as a valid alternative route to reach Kumasi.
==Etymology==
Oral tradition has it that Koforidua owes its name to an Akan man, Kofi Ofori, who had built his hut under a huge mahogany tree. This tree provided shelter for weary farmers who were returning from their farms after a hard day’s work. Overtime it became common for the farmers to say that they were going to rest under Kofi Ofori’s tree. In Akan, the south country's native language, the word for tree is "dua". An amalgamation of Kofi Ofori’s name and tree, therefore, becomes "Koforidua."
