Pru District is a former district that was located in Brong-Ahafo Region (now currently in Bono East Region), Ghana.[1] Originally it was formerly part of the then-larger Atebubu District on 10 March 1989, until the northern part was split off to create Pru District; thus the remaining part has been renamed as Atebubu-Amantin District, which it was elevated to municipal district assembly status on 15 March 2018 to become Atebubu-Amantin Municipal District. However on 15 March 2018, it was split off into two new districts: Pru East District (capital: Yeji) and Pru West District (capital: Prang).[2][3][4] The district assembly was located in the east central part of Brong-Ahafo Region (now east central part of Bono East Region) and had Yeji as its capital town.
