Takoradi was a humble fishing village until 1920 when it was merged with its "twin," Sekondi, to make it the central transportation hub and port city it is today. This maritime history can still be felt in its impressive harbor, the oldest in Ghana and the location of much of the country’s export business. The vibrant nature of this city is best represented by the Market Circle, where a range of goods, including clothes, produce and electronics, can be found. Historic forts and lighthouses dot the city’s scenic coastline as reminders of the area’s dark, colonial past.
