Originally from a community far away called Notsi (modern Togo), the story of how Kpando Agudzi was founded takes the form of a meandering journey, a group of wanderers searching for a home. Moving swiftly from Notsi, this group of nomads passed through Ziavi, then Tongbu, Votsi and Dome. At each place, some members of the group settled down; others continued on their journey, seeking a home. After Dome, the group turned north in search of drinking water; weary after many months on the road, they couldn’t muster the strength to continue their journey immediately.
Thus a small band of hunters, among the strongest and fittest of the clan, volunteered to explore and return once they had found water. They set off and soon reached a deep forest. These were experienced hunters and they crossed without hesitation over the threshold of the jungle. After a full day of walking they grew tired, and having seemingly made little progress through the jungle, they decided to spend the night in the forest and continue their search anew at sunrise.
They were just beginning to make their camp as dusk approached, when, suddenly, one member of the group gave a gasp of surprise – through the branches of the trees he had watched the sun set, and at a certain point he caught the sight of a reflection, the light of the sun bouncing off water. He sprinted towards the reflection, finally reaching a river which he named Agudzitsi or “sun on to water.”
Leaving 2 members of the group to guard the spot, the rest of the hunters returned to their clan to inform them of their good fortune and to lead them back to their new home, today called Kpando Agudzi.
The King of Kpando Agudzi Togbui Bediako IV (1876 - 1978)
The King of the district today Togbui Bediako VII is his grandson.
