Juaboso District is one of the nine districts in Western North Region, Ghana.[2] [3] [4] [5] [6] [7] Originally it was formerly part of the then-larger Juaboso-Bodi District in August 2004, which was created from the former Sefwi-Bibiani District Council, until the southeast part of the district was split off to create Bodi District on 28 June 2012; thus the remaining part has been renamed as Juaboso District. The district assembly is located in the northwest part of Western North Region and has Juaboso as its capital town.

It is about 65 kilometers north west of the district capital Wiawso. It is also 360 kilometers north west of Takoradi on the Atlantic Ocean coast and 225 kilometres south west of Kumasi, capital of the Ashanti Region.[8]
