:"For public address general alarm, see Public address"Paga is a town in northern Ghana, lying where the nation's main north-south road reaches the Burkina Faso border, north of Bolgatanga.

Overview

It is known for its sacred crocodile ponds where most visitors are surprised that they can touch a live crocodile. Paga is about three kilometers from Paga-Nania Slave Camp, which was a transit camp used for the trading by Hausa, Mossi and Zambrama traders. It is in the Upper East Region of the country and has a population of over 2000 people. Most of the inhabitants are farmers.

Foundation

According to legend, Paga was founded c. 600 years ago by a young man called Naveh, who was saved by a crocodile while on a hunting expedition. He then left his village and settled in the place which is now Paga. [cite web
