However on 6 February 2012, the northeast part of the district was split off to create a new '''[[Akuapim South District]]''', with [[Aburi]] as its capital town; thus the remaining part has been renamed as '''Nsawam-Adoagyire Municipal District''', with [[Nsawam]] as its capital town. The municipality is located in the southeast part of Eastern Region and has [[Nsawam]] as its capital town.
