North Tongu District is one of the newly created District Assemblies in 2012 with its capital at Battor. Carved out of the then North Tongu District which is now Central Tongu by Legislative Instrument (L.I 2081), the North Tongu District Assembly was inaugurated and started operation in July 2012.

The District abounds in natural resources such as huge arable land for rice production. This chapter provides background information on North Tongu District, the methodology, concepts and definitions used in the 2010 census as well as the organisation of the report.
