Chamba

Chamba lies west of Bimbilla in the country of Nanung, home to Nanumba and Konkomba-speaking communities. It gives its name to the Chamba people, remembered among the older inhabitants of northern Ghana. Nanung's traditions connect its founding to Naa Gmantambu, a son of Naa Gbewaa and brother of the founder of neighboring Dagbon. Bimbilla became the seat of its ruler, while chiefs governed other communities across the kingdom.
