History

The Ketu North Municipal District, also known as Ketu Dzigbe Municipal District was formed out of the former Ketu Municipal District. And as a result, it was formally inaugurated on 29 February 2008 by then president John Agyekum Kufour. Whilst the remaining portion of the Ketu Municipal District served as the Ketu South Municipal District, Ketu North had been reverted to an ordinary district ever since. However, in May 2018, ten years later, the decision was taken to upgrade the administrative level of the Ketu North District from ordinary to municipal.[2]
