About Wankyi
Wenchi or Wankyi was a Bono-speaking Akan polity in present-day Ghana. Centered in the forest–savanna transition zone, the state emerged from early settlements at Bonoso and later established its capital at Ahwene Koko. By the early seventeenth century, Wenchi was recognized as a gold-producing and cloth-manufacturing state engaged in regional trade. In the early eighteenth century, it was defeated by the Asante Empire and became a tributary polity.
