The Mountains are believed to have been the first home of the Krobo people when they migrated to Ghana between the 15th and d 16th centuries.
These mountains provided a natural protective barrier against marauding slave raiders and other invaders.
However, in 1852 a 100-man British army forced the Krobos to evacuate their home.
Relics, interesting architectural designs and ruins of buildings have survived, and can be seen on the mountain today.
