Territory

Wasa territory covers 9,638 km2, almost the same as Central Region (9,791 km2); Western Region as a whole covers 24,293 km2.

Towns within Wasa territory, or with a primarily Wasa population, include Tarkwa, one of the highest producers of gold and cocoa in Ghana, and Adum Banso, a former power in southern Ghana.

Wasa is the largest tribe in Western Region in terms of land and population.
