Kintampo District is a former district that was located in Brong-Ahafo Region (now currently in Bono East Region), Ghana.[1] Originally created as an ordinary district assembly on 10 March 1989. However on 12 November 2003 (effectively 17 February 2004), it was split off into two new districts: Kintampo North District (which it was elevated to municipal district assembly status on 1 November 2007 (effectively 29 February 2008); capital: Kintampo) and Kintampo South District (capital: Jema). The district assembly was located in the southern part of Brong-Ahafo Region (now western part of Bono East Region) and had Kintampo as its capital town.
