Anomabu
Anomabu, also spelled Anomabo and formerly as Annamaboe,[2] is a town on the coast of the Mfantsiman Municipal District of the Central Region of South Ghana.[4] According to oral tradition, the origin of the name “Anomabu” was first established when a hunter from the Nsona[5] clan first discovered the area and decided to settle there with his family, eventually starting his own village as time passed.[5] In the same year, a small garrison successfully resisted the entire Ashanti army, although the city suffered greatly from the attack.[5] In the later 19th century, it exported in palm oil, ivory, gold dust, peanuts, and Guinea grains in exchange for considerable imports of manufactured goods.According to 19th century colonial official George Macdonald, Anomabu was “The strongest [town] on the coast on account of the number of armed natives that it contained: The whole land round was well populated besides being very rich in gold, slaves, and corn”.[4] According to an anthropological study in 2016 by Patience Affua Addo, the fishing industry in Anomabu is highly gendered and prevents ascension for women due to the patriarchal society that it exists under.Sanitation is not adequate in the community, and due to lack of public toilets, most residents use the beach, which has resulted in contaminated gutters.
