Zabzugu-Tatale District is a former district that was located in Northern Region, Ghana.[1] Originally created as an ordinary district assembly in 1988, which was created from the former East Dagomba District Council. However on 28 June 2012, it was split off into two new districts: Zabzugu District (capital: Zabzugu) and Tatale-Sangule District (capital: Tatale). The district assembly was located in the eastern part of Northern Region and had Zabzugu as its capital town.
