Gyasehene Abentia (Hon) The panegyric is attributed to the early forebears of Amanokrom for their characteristic boldness, skill in war and dedication to the cause of justice. It symbolizes the kind of spirit and drive which inspired successive bands of war lords and their lieutenants on their forward march from the far interior in Ashanti to their final destination, the present Akuapem Ridge. Amanokrom one of the principal Twi speaking towns in Akuapem was established around 1742 by Nana Amanor Awuah by Asona clan whose predecessors accompanied their relative, King Safori, to establish the Ofore stool dynasty and the Akuapem State after the Akuapem War of Independence against the Akwamus in 1733. Nana Amanor Awuah whose name was given to the new town Amanokrom (Amanor's Town) was a descendant of Nana Ahenkorakese, an Asona Chief of Adanse Ofoase in Ashanti and of common ancestry with King Kuntunkununku.
