Coomassie

Coomassie, modern spelling Kumasi, is the capital city of the Kumasi Metropolitan Assembly and the Ashanti Region of Ghana. It was the capital of the negro kingdom of Ashanti, 130 miles North-West of Cape Coast Castle. It was once a large populous place, but was much reduced after its capture by Wolseley in 1874. It was rebuilt thereafter. It was founded around 1680, as the capital of Ashanti by Asantehene Osei Kofi Tutu I.
