History of Accra __ "Accra was first settled at the end of the sixteenth century
when the Ga people migrated there after leaving their previous settlement at
Ayawso, ten miles north of Accra. This site proved to be advantageous for the Ga
people as it removed them from their rivals, the Akwamus people, who were a
menace at Ayawso. Also, the site also enabled the Ga people to engage in trade
with the Europeans who had built forts nearby, the most important of these being
the fort at James Fort and the Ussher Fort." You will find a good look at Accra
