History

Bono-Tekyiman

Further information: Bono state

The town of Techiman was originally a part of the Bono state. After Bono Manso, capital of the Bono state, was destroyed by the Asante Empire in 1723 during the Asante-Bono war, the capital was moved to Techiman in 1740, which ruled a much-reduced kingdom under Asante sovereignty.23 As a vassal, Techiman joined the Asante in wars against Gonja in 1802, Gyaman in 1818, and Ewe in the 1860s.4

After the Third Anglo–Asante War, a confederation of Brong states led by Gyaman which included Techiman attempted to secede from the empire with British protection.5 In 1877, Techiman was destroyed, with the population fleeing to Gyaman. Only in 1896 were did Asantehene Prempeh I allow them to return.6

Between 1896 and 1901 Techiman and the other Brong states were part of the Asante 'protectorate', but were administered separately by the British. Techiman regained control of several villages that had been taken by the Asante in 1723. A series of colonial reorganizations, however, brought Techiman back under the Asantehene's purview.7

Techiman joined the Asante Confederacy Council of chiefs in April 1936, but the Techimanhene quickly found that the council would not be the free association of states that he expected. Techiman, along with Dormaa, Drobo, Abease, Suma-Ahenkro and Antepim-Domase, seceded from the Confederacy in 1952.8

Present

A referendum in 2018 was passed with the focus of creating new regions in Ghana, which resulted in Techiman being selected as the capital of the newly created Bono East Region.910

Demography

As of the 2010 census released by the Ghana Statistical Service, Techiman has a population of 67,241 people.18 About 95% of the population is religious, where about 69.5% are Christian, 27.4% are Islamic, and 0.9% are traditionalists. The majority of ethnic groups in the city consists of the Akans, Bono, Gonjas, Dagombas, Sisalas and Mamprusis.19

Cityscape

Due to the city's rapid growth as a result of its location and commercial importance, there has been an intense need for land and housing. Although, there are more homes being built than any other time periods in the country's history.20: 6  Most property in Techiman is owned by traditional chiefs.21

There has been a decline of compound housing and the increase of detached housing in the city, which could be attributed to the rise of detached housing across Ghana. One exception is Takofiano, a low-income community of both indigenes and migrants located in Techiman dominated by compound housing. The situation is entirely different in Hansua, a high-income peri-urban community where detached housing is the norm. The community used to be farmland which has now being redevelop for the wealthy households in Techiman.22: 7, 10 

A Cattle farmer/trader from Takofiano explained how long building in Techiman takes due to issues relating to financing.23: 17 

I started [building a structure] in 1996 and two years ago (2023) I completed it [construction spanned a period of 26 years]. Funds used in putting up this structure [house] were sourced from my work [savings and incomes] and then more recently funds received from my son who is now a teacher based in Kumasi. When I started the building, my son was a little child, and it’s taken all these years to now complete it.
