Tongu District is a former district council that was located in Volta Region, Ghana.[1] Originally created as an ordinary district assembly in 1975. However on 10 March 1989, it was split off into two new district assemblies: South Tongu District (capital: Sogakope) and the first North Tongu District (currently known as Central Tongu District; capital: Adidome).[2] The district assembly was located in the southwest part of Volta Region and had Sogakope as its capital town.
