Apam is the site of Fort Lijdzaamheid or Fort Patience, a Dutch-built fort which was completed in 1702, which dominates the fishing harbor and town from a rocky peninsula located on the south side of the town.[2] It was a major port prior to independence, but after Tema was built, shipping was forbidden. The current chief of Apam is called Nana Ekow Payne.[3] It is also a major town in the Gomoa Akyempem Paramountcy. There are many fishermen as fishing is the main industry. Apam has a Secondary School called Apam Senior High School,[4] an FM station, several churches and a salt-winning industry. The Benyah Lagoon is used to produce salt.
The tropical wet and dry climate of Apam, with its proximity to the Gulf of Guinea, is characterized by notable seasonal variations and a savanna-like landscape.[5][6][7]
Temperatureedit
Warmer temperatures have been recorded in the area, indicating a shift towards a warmer climate, and this is contributing to a notable temperature trend in Apam.[8]
