An important port city in southwestern Ghana, West Africa. Population 104,000 (1988). The capital of the Western Region facing the Gulf of Guinea, it is divided into two districts: Sekondi is mainly commercial and residential, while Takoradi, about 10 km to the east, is a developed area for cocoa processing, tobacco, railway repair, shipbuilding and other industries. The town of Sekondi first emerged around a fort built by the Dutch and British in the 17th century, and after the inland railway was opened in 1903, it became an export port for timber, cocoa, minerals and other products.
