Eastern Region, Administrative region in southeastern Ghana
The Eastern Region spans 19,323 square kilometers of diverse terrain with hills, valleys, and rivers, making up 8.1 percent of Ghana's total land area.
The region underwent multiple administrative changes since 1957, evolving from the Eastern Province that included the Trans-Volta Togoland into its current boundaries.
The region celebrates the Odwira Festival, where local communities gather to share traditional music, dances, food, and conduct ceremonies in different districts.
The Eastern Region connects to major cities through an extensive network of highways, with regular minibus and taxi services operating between districts.
Lake Volta, formed by the Akosombo Dam in 1965, extends through the region as the largest artificial lake on Earth, covering 8,502 square kilometers.
