Atebubu-Amantin Municipal District is one of the eleven districts in Bono East Region, Ghana.[2][3] Originally it was formerly part of the then-larger Atebubu District on 10 March 1989, until the northern part of the district was split off to create Pru District on 12 November 2003 (effectively 18 February 2004);[4] thus the remaining part has been renamed as Atebubu-Amantin District,[5] which it was later elevated to municipal district assembly status on 15 March 2018 to become Atebubu-Amantin Municipal District.[6] The municipality is located in the east central part of Bono East Region and has Atebubu as its capital town.
