Ohemaa Akua Afriyie was the first among the group to establish a settlement by building a mud house at an abandoned timber loading station that had been left behind by the Mim Timber Company(MTC).
Her settlement was nearby a footpath Junction that led to the hunting ground of a hunter called Kramo Korkoor.
