The Asante Akim South District is one of the 27 districts in the Ashanti Region. It was carved out of the then Asante Akim District in 1988 in furtherance of Government’s decentralization policy.
It has a land area of I,217km2 (472.4sq. miles) drained by the Bosompra, Kume, Subin and Anum rivers and a number of perennial and seasonal streams. The Kwahu-Mampong - Kintampo ridge passes through the district in the east. The district is situated in the eastern part of the region and is the GATEWAYT O ASHANTI from the Eastern and Greater Accra Regions. It forms about five per cent (5%) of the total area of the Ashanti Region, and 0.5 per cent of the total area of the country.
It is bounded in the north and northwest by the Asante Akim North District and in the west by the Ejisu-Juaben Municiipal. Bekwai Municipal/Bosome-Freho is on its southwest border; and the eastern border which coincides with the boundary between the Ashanti and Eastern Regions is shared with the Kwahu South, Kwahu West and Birim North Districts all in the Eastern Region.
