[5] Originally it was formerly part of the then-larger
Kintampo District on 10 March 1989, until the southern part of the district was split off to create
Kintampo South District on 12 November 2003 (effectively 17 February 2004); thus the remaining part has been renamed as
Kintampo North District, which it was later elevated to municipal district assembly status on 1 November 2007 (effecitvely 29 February 2008) to become Kintampo North Municipal District. The municipality is located in the northern part of Bono East Region and has
Kintampo as its capital town. As at 2021, Isaac Baffoe Ameyaw was the Municipal Chief Executive of the Assembly after he was nominated by
Nana Akuffo-Addo.
