The languages spoken in Damongo include Gonja, Vagla, Hanga, Dagaare, Waale, Frafra, Kasim, Twi, Ewe, and Hausa.

Damongo traces its roots back to the ancient Songhai Empire and their migration to present-day Ghana in 1546, led by Askia Mohammed.

Rulers of the time, such as Musa Askia, Landa, Wam, Amoah, and Lanta Limu, paved the way for the establishment of the modern Gonja Kingdom.

[6] The seat of the Gonja Kingdom was moved from Nyange to Damongo by Yagbonwura Awusi Ewuntomah Bunyangso, who ruled from 1942 to 1975.

The traditional agricultural practices and cultivation of these crops continue to play a vital role in the community's sustenance and economic activities.
