Wenchi

Western Africa

Wenchi is a town and the capital of the Wenchi Municipal District of the Bono Region in the middle belt of Ghana. According to its English Wikipedia article it lies about 30 kilometres north of Techiman and about 50 kilometres east of the border with Ivory Coast, at an average elevation of 304 metres, and it had a population of 39,187 people in 2013. The article gives little beyond this location and population, so this description stays short rather than adding anything the source does not support.
