Bia District

Bia District is a former district that was located in Western Region, Ghana. Originally it was formerly part of the then-larger Juaboso-Bia District in 1988, which was created from the former Sefwi-Bibiani District Council, until the northwest part of the district was split off to create Bia District; thus the remaining part has been renamed as Juaboso-Bodi District. However, on 28 June 2012, it was split off into two new districts: Bia West District (capital: Sefwi Essam) and Bia East District (capital: Asokore Adaborkrom). The district assembly was located in the northwest part of Western Region and had Sefwi Essam as its capital town.
