Central Tongu District is one of the eighteen districts in Volta Region, Ghana.[2][3] Originally created as an ordinary district assembly on 10 March 1989 when it was known as the first North Tongu District, with Adidome as its capital town, which was created from the former Tongu District Council, However on 28 June 2012, the western part of the district was split off to create a new North Tongu District, with Battor Dugame as its capital town, which was established by Legislative Instrument (L.I.) 2081; thus the remaining part has been renamed as Central Tongu District, with Adidome as its capital town, which was established by Legislative Instrument (L.I.) 2077. The district assembly is located in the southwest part of Volta Region and has Adidome as its capital town.
