Sabon Zango or Sabon Zongo is a Zongo residential town in the Greater Accra Region of Ghana. The name " Sabon Zango" has its etymology from the Hausa Language which literally means the "new settlement". The town was founded by some of the earliest Hausa settlers in Southern Ghana. It remains one of the oldest Zongo settlements in the country due to the events that led to the town's resettlement. It is also the birthplace of Ghana's current Second lady Samira Bawumia.[1] Sabon Zango shares boundary with the Korle-Bu Teaching Hospital.[2][3]
