Adenta Municipal District is one of the twenty-nine districts in Greater Accra Region, Ghana.[1][2] Originally it was formerly part of the then-larger Tema Municipal District, which was created from the former Council, until two parts of the district were later split off to create Adenta Municipal District (from the northwest part) and Ashaiman Municipal District (from the north central part) respectively on 29 February 2008; thus the remaining part was elevated to metropolitan district assembly status on that same year to become Tema Metropolitan District. The municipality is located in the central part of Greater Accra Region and has Adenta East as its capital town.
