Jaman North District is one of the twelve districts in Bono Region, Ghana.[2] Originally it was formerly part of the then-larger Jaman District on 10 March 1989, which was created from the former Berekum-Jaman District Council, until part of the district was split off to create Jaman North District on 12 November 2003 (effectively 17 February 2004); thus the remaining part has been renamed as Jaman South District; which it was elevated to municipal district assembly status on 1 November 2017 (effectively 15 March 2018) to become Jaman South Municipal District. The district assembly is located in the western part of Bono Region and has Sampa as its capital town.
