West Africa’s Republic of Ghana lies on the Gulf of Guinea and borders Ivory Coast, Burkina Faso, and Togo. This Oregon-size country, the former British colony of Gold Coast, became independent March 6, 1957. Its natural resources include gold, industrial diamonds, bauxite, manganese, timber, and fish. It was inhabited in pre-colonial times by a number of ancient kingdoms, including the inland Ashanti kingdom and various Fante states along the coast. Trade with European states flourished after contact with the Portuguese in the fifthteenth century, and the British established a crown colony, Gold Coast, in 1874.
