Ada East District
Ada East District is one of the twenty-nine districts in Greater Accra Region, Ghana.[1] Originally it was formerly the part of the then-larger Dangme East District in 1988, which was created from the former Dangme District Council, until the western part of the district was split off to create Ada West District on 28 June 2012; thus the remaining part has been renamed as Ada East District. The district assembly is located in the eastern part of Greater Accra Region and has Ada Foah as its capital town.
