The region, which extends in Benin, is home to the Batammariba. The Batammariba people have built remarkable mud tower-houses (Takienta) for many years and the structures have come to be seen as a symbol of Togo around the world.
After World War I, rule over Togo was transferred to France. Togo gained its independence from France in 1960. Following UN representations, elections in April 1958 favoured complete independence and rejected Grunitzky's Togolese Progress Party in favour of Sylvanus Olympio's Togolese National Unity Party. Togo became independent on April 27, 1960.
