Located directly east of the Korle Lagoon, Jamestown and Usshertown are the oldest districts of Accra, Ghana[1] and emerged as communities around the 17th century British James Fort and Dutch Ussher Fort on the Gulf of Guinea coast.[2][3] These districts were developed at the end of the 19th century, and following the rapid growth of the city during the 20th century, they became areas of a dense mixture of commercial and residential use.
