From the 1980s down to the 1990s, Odupon Kpehe, popularly known as Kasoa, in the Central Region, was a small village. But following the population explosion in Accra, leaving in its trail the scramble for human settlements, those who had acquired plots of land to build their future homes started moving towards the town.
Apart from the fact that plots of land at Kasoa, in those days were very cheap, almost all the lands in Accra itself had also been exhausted. Developers, therefore, had no option than to move to Kasoa, and because of its proximity to Accra, the town has today become one of the big human settlements in Ghana.
