The District Assembly
The Offinso North District Assembly has Akomadan as its capital. The district was carved out from the erstwhile Offinso District Assembly in 2008 because of the creation of more districts and the elevation of some districts to municipal status. It was established under the Legislative Instrument 1856.

Location and Size
The District lies on the northern part of the Ashanti Region and has a total land area of about 741 square kilometres. It shares boundaries with Techiman Municipal Assembly to the North and Sunyani Municipal Assembly to the West in the Brong Ahafo region, Ejura Sekyeredumase District to the East and Offinso Municipal Assembly to the South in the Ashanti region. The rest are Nkoransa South District to the North East, Wenchi Municipal to the North West, Tano North all in the Brong Ahafo region and Tano South to the South West in the Ashanti region. The South-North Trans West African Highway traverses the District, thus making it the gateway to the Ashanti Region from the Northern part of the country.
