Operational from 1704 until 1845, it served as an inland collection outpost where Ghanaian traders gathered captives to sell to European powers, including the French, English, and Dutch.
The Pikworo Slave Camp was a key transit point in the 18th- and 19th-century slave trade. It was established in 1704 and was active until 1845. It is located in Paga Nania, about 3 kilometers west of Paga in the Upper East Region of Ghana. It was originally developed and served as a slave transit center where slaves were auctioned and later resold in the Salaga Slave Market. From Pikworo, captives were forced to march approximately 150 kilometers south. They were later moved to the coast for shipment.
