Historically, the Gá-Dangmes of Ghana were believed to have once lived along the eastern part of the banks of the River Nile during the reign of Thothmes II, the then Pharaoh of Egypt, circa 1700 –1250 BCE.

This was at the time when the Israelites had settled on the land of Goshen, from the eastern part of the River Nile to its estuary. The Gas were part of the Nubians that left Egypt after being freed from slavery by the then Pharaoh Amenhotep II.

Tracing the itinerary of the Nubians indicted that this group separated into the Ethiopian and Ga ethnic groups after they had left Egypt, with each group following different direction.

The Ga-speaking ethnic groups which consisted of the Wo Kpele, Wo Krowor, Wo Doku and Wo Sagba travelled the South-Western route by following the Ghazal and Jebe creeks, and the River Ubangi which eventually led them to Boma; a town in Congo (presently D. R. Congo).

There's currently a Suburb in Teshie called "Aboma" meaning the people of Boma. From Boma, they sojourn for some time, before moving on to the Boni Island in the Niger Delta Basin in present day Nigeria.

While in Nigeria, these groups once again separated, with one part moving West to the land of the Ancient Benins, while the rest moved North-West to Ile Ife in Yoruba land.

They then moved from Nigeria through Dahomey (now Republic of Benin) and to Togo where they settled at Aneho, before eventually moving on to their present locations in Ghana.
