In the 18th century, Aflao served as one of the major markets for the slave trade. Aflao is shared by Ghana and Togo, causing the land to be split into Aflao of Ghana and Aflao of Togo. The culture of this land is based on their clothes, called Kente or kete. Their local music is Agbadja and Brekete. Ghanaian authorities plan to create a common post at Aflao.
