Efutu people

The Efutu are a part of the Guang people who are historically known to be the aboriginal inhabitants of present-day Ghana. The Efutu, who are a primarily fishing-based population, founded the coastal area in about 1390 C.E. They are generally found in Awutu Senya, Adina, Senya Beraku and Winneba. Their Guan culture has influenced neighbouring Akan communities. Historically, the Akan people, especially the Borbor Mfantsefo, adopted several cultural elements from the Efutu, such as traditional denominations. The integration of these practices led to the formation of a modern culture shared by both the Guan people of Winneba and their Akan neighbours. The Simpa Kingdom was formed about 1400 AD.
