Ho, the capital of the Volta Region in Ghana, is a city with historical roots tracing back to the westward migrations of the Ewe people in the early 18th century. Its development was significantly influenced by German colonial activities, particularly the establishment of kola nut and cocoa plantations in the late 19th century. Historically, Ho transitioned from being part of German Togoland to British Togoland, and finally became a part of independent Ghana. This historical progression has shaped the city's cultural and administrative landscape.
Today, Ho serves as the administrative and economic hub of the Volta Region, showcasing a blend of traditional Ewe culture and modern developments. The city is known for its vibrant cultural expressions, notably the Asogli Yam Festival, and its role as a center for education and healthcare, highlighted by institutions like the University of Health and Allied Sciences. While maintaining its cultural heritage, Ho is also experiencing urban growth, with developments in infrastructure and services.
