What was Ghana called during British colonial rule?

During the period of British colonial rule, the territory that is now Ghana was known as the Gold Coast.12

The region acquired this name due to its historical significance as a major source of gold. The British established the Gold Coast crown colony in 1874, eventually expanding their administration to include the Asante empire and the Northern Territories. Following the end of World War I, the territory also administered British Togoland as a mandate. The colony officially achieved independence from Great Britain on March 6, 1957, adopting the name Ghana.123
