Mankon

Mankon is a kingdom of the Cameroon Grassfields, formed from several communities under a dynasty of chiefs called Fon. Its traditions name Ndemagha as the founder. Like other kingdoms of the highlands, Mankon maintained a royal household whose members and retainers served the ruler, while the palace stood at the centre of political life. The history of its people is preserved through successive generations of the ruling line.

The later city of Bamenda lies here.
