Anecho

Aného lies between the Atlantic and the lagoons of the eastern Slave Coast. In the late seventeenth century, Ané migrants from Elmina established the settlement after fleeing conflict on the Gold Coast. Tradition names Quam Desu as a leader of this migration, which followed the founding of nearby Glidji. Aného grew into a trading centre known to Europeans as Little Popo, linking the lagoon country with ships on the Gulf of Guinea and with merchants from inland.

The later city of Lomé lies here.
