Anyako is a town in the Volta Region of Ghana.[1][2] It is bordered at the south by the Keta Lagoon. The inhabitants of the town mainly belong to the Ewe tribe.[3] Tracing its establishment to a settlement founded by the Anlos during the migration from Notsie in present-day Togo. The town is the birthplace of Ghanaian-American artist El Anatsui. The town has had little to no growth over the past thirty years due to sea erosion which affected commercial activities.[4]
