Ekumfi District

Ekumfi District is one of the twenty-two districts in Central Region, Ghana. Originally it was formerly part of a then-larger Mfantsiman District, which was created from the former Mfantsiman District Council; until the eastern part of the district was split off on 28 June 2012 to create Ekumfi District; thus the remaining part has been retained as Mfantsiman Municipal District. The district assembly is located in the southwest part of Central Region and has Essarkyir as its capital town.
