Wa West District is one of the eleven districts in Upper West Region, Ghana.[2] Originally it was formerly part of the then-larger Wa District in 1988; until two parts of the district were later split off to create Wa East District (from the east) and Wa West District (from the west) respectively in July 2004; thus the remaining part was elevated to municipal district assembly status on the same year to become Wa Municipal District . The district assembly is located in the southern part of Upper West Region and has Wechiau as its capital town.
Location
[edit ]Wa West District shares boundaries with Sawla-Tuna-Kalba District to the South, Wa Municipal District to the East, Nadowli District to the North, and to the West with Ivory Coast.
