Bono Manso

Bono Manso, historically known as Bonomanso, was a significant trading state and the seat of the Bono Kingdom. It was located in present-day southern Ghana and played a crucial role in the medieval Akan civilization. Bonoman, as it was then called, stretched across modern Ghanaian regions of Bono, Bono East, and Ahafo, as well as parts of the Eastern Ivory Coast. The Bono Kingdom is generally accepted as the origin of various Akan subgroups who later migrated in search of gold, forming new Akan states.
