Guan District is one of the nineteen districts in Oti Region, Ghana.[2] Originally created as an ordinary district assembly in 1988 when it was known as Hohoe District (within Volta Region), until it was elevated to municipal district assembly status on 29 February 2008 to become Hohoe Municipal District. However on 8 October 2021, the northern part of the district was split off to create Guan District; thus the remaining part has been retained as Hohoe Municipal District. The municipality is located in the southeastern part of Oti Region and has Likpe-Mate as its capital town.[3]
