Akuapim-Mampong
Akuapim-Mampong is a small town in the Akuapim North district of the Eastern Region of Ghana.〔(Akuapim North District )〕
==History==
A 1772 Dutch report included the name Mampo (Mampong) in their records. This indicates that Mampong had been founded before 1772. The name Mampong might have been taken from the Shai village, Mankpon. Another tradition indicated that early settlers, after defeating an invading Asante army moved from an old settlement to a new one – the Damti shrine neighborhood. In jubilation, they uttered the Akan words “Yabedu ha yi de, ya’pon” Meaning, so far so good! Constant use of that phrase evolved to become Mampong.
The third probable reason for the name is the connection Mampong-Akuapem has with her Asante counterpart.
Mampong became famous when Tetteh Quarshie planted in 1879 some cocoa seeds in the town. He had brought them from Fernando Po. A plantation was set up in the 1890s to teach farmers the correct methods of raising the cocoa plant and other crops. Farmers of Mampong became the pioneers of the cocoa industry in Ghana.〔http://mampongakuapem.org/A%20SHORT%20HISTORY%20OF%20MAMPONG%20AKUAPEM.pdf〕
