Sefwi-Wiawso Municipal District is one of the nine districts in Western North Region, Ghana.[1] Originally created as an ordinary district assembly in 1988 when it was known as Sefwi-Wiawso District. Later, part of the district was split off to become Sefwi-Akontombra District on 29 February 2008; thus the remaining original part was retained as Sefwi-Wiawso District. It was later upgraded to municipal district assembly status on March 2012. The municipality is located in the northeast part of Western North Region and has Wiawso as its capital town.
