History


Traditional Ewe stories speak of a migration of the Ewe people from an area in present-day Benin, a town called Ketu, to the currently inhabited southeastern region of Ghana. Ketu was populated by other peoples as well and Ewe migration was due to the flourishing group, the Yoruba. It is believed that the Ewe settled in Togo and later moved to southeastern Ghana.
