Some facts about Great Ningo.

“THE Kingdom of Ningo ( which by the French, is called Lempi, or Lampi; and by the English, Lampa, or Alampo) borders West on Labadde and Great Akkra Egwira, East on Soko, and South on the Sea of Guinea; extending about thirteen Leagues along the Coast, from Labadde Lay, or Alempi.

THE Prince of Ningo bears the Title of King of Ladingkour, though he and his subjects are dependent on the King of Aquambo, who rules them arbitrarily, punishing the slightest Faults with Death.”

The town of Old Ningo, one of the oldest European settlements in Ghana, is situated along the Gulf of Guinea coast, in the Greater Accra Region. Built in Old Ningo in 1734, the Danish Fort Fredensborg was once a fairly important slave trading station. However, with the abolition of the slave trade, it soon decayed such that by 1835 only one man was stationed in the fort ‘to maintain the flag’ .

Fredensborg was already in a state of ruin when it was handed over to the British on 8th March 1850, along with other Danish possessions.
