Brief History – About Ada Foah
In the year 1775, a trading post was built by the Dutch in Ada Foah to open-up trading between the town and parts of Europe. In later years, the Danes got control of the town from the Dutch, and they remained here for over one hundred years.
Fearing attack from nearby tribes, a fort, Ada Fort, was built to protect the town and this is actually where the town got its name. However, the trading post became a market for trade of slaves where Ada acted as middleman.
Due to the town’s close proximity to the beaches, much of its structures were washed away when the water rises. Today, Ada Foah has become the idyllic getaway for those looking for a quite kind of holiday.
