The Akuapem State has a total land area of 1519.13 square kilometres.
They are indigenous, consisting of both patriarchal Volta-Comoe-speaking Guans and matriarchal Kwa-speaking Akans.
The localities that speak Akan Twi include the capital, Akropong, Pokrom Nsabaa, and Amanokurom, which are home to immigrants from Akyem and Mampong, who are also from Asante Mampong in Ashanti Region.
[1] These multi-ethnic people were given the name Akuapem by Nana Ansa Sasraku I of Akwamu, a renowned warrior king.
The word "thousand groups" (Nkuu apem) in Akan Twi is the source of the name.
