Tiko, originally called ‘Keka’ by the Bakweris, is a town and important port in the southwest region of Cameroon.

The settlement grew as a market town for Duala (or Douala) fishermen, Bakweri (Kpwe people) farmers, and hunters from Molyko, Bwenga, Bulu, and Bokova.

The town is also an industrial area which is mostly occupied by the CDC (Cameroon Development Co-operation), which produces rubber, banana, and palm oil.

Though the government's plans are underway to redevelop and rehabilitate both the Airport and the Tiko Port, delays have put the project into uncertainty.

Mutengene, a small town west of Tiko, is a cross roads leading to Buea and Limbe, Cameroon (Formerly called Victoria).

Tiko United is the first club west of the Mongo to have won the championship title since its inception some 50 years ago.
