The Jomoro District is a vibrant and strategically positioned area in the southwestern part of Ghana’s Western Region. Nestled between Latitude 4.80° N and the Atlantic Ocean (Gulf of Guinea) to the south, and Latitude 5.21° N and the Nini River to the north, the district enjoys a unique coastal and inland geography. It stretches from Longitude 2.35° W in the east to 3.07° W in the west, covering a total area of 1,344 square kilometers—about 5.6% of the Western Region’s landmass.
Jomoro shares its northern borders with Wassa-Amenfi and Aowin-Suaman Districts, its eastern boundary with Ellembelle District, and is flanked to the west by La Côte d’Ivoire. To the south, it opens onto the Gulf of Guinea, giving the district a strategic advantage in trade, tourism, and maritime activities. Its diverse geography and coastal access make Jomoro a key hub for development, culture, and economic opportunities in the Western Region.
The population distribution in Jomoro District is shaped by a combination of factors, including vegetation, economic activities, infrastructure, and cultural and administrative policies. The district capital, Half Assini, hosts the largest population, benefiting from well-developed infrastructure and strong economic opportunities that attract migration and retain residents. Other notable population centers include Elubo, Tikobo No. 1, and Bonyere.
Population settlement across the district is uneven, reflecting the contrast between population size and land area. The district is predominantly rural, with most communities dispersed across the landscape. Of the 931 settlements recorded in 2010, only five qualified as urban, each with a population of 5,000 or more, highlighting the rural character of the majority of the district.
