Amoakopanin during one of his hunting expeditions, strayed deep into an area near Awaasuso. He came across a body of water with qualities of a pond, a well and a stream with “healthy fish” swimming in it. The area was serene, the vegetation lush and he felt some spiritual inner peace around the waters. Amoakopanin caught some fish, cooked and fed the fish to his dog. The dog drank from the ‘river’ and survived. On his return home, Amoakopanin informed Nana Fosu who together with the Gyaasehene sent an expedition group to ascertain the validity of the claim of the “new place” for possible settlement.
Nana Adutwumpanin gathered his people for a communal work to clear around the river for settlement. Building of houses began as the people moved into the new settlement. It is said that the first house was built by Nana Kwaku Sarkodie at Apemso near the river. Nana Fosu would often proclaim “M’anya Asuo yi kwa ... kwaoo!!” (I got this body of water for free) and had the privilege of naming the new permanent settlement “Kwaso ... Kwaoso”.
Nana Amoakopanin was later enstooled as Krontihene of Kwaso for his discovery of the river Asuo Kwao. He was from the “Agona” clan. Later the whole Anunkusuaso settlers steadily moved to settle near ‘Asuo Kwa (Kwaoo)’ and begun proclaiming to themselves and others in nearby villages that, they live around the River Kwao, hence the name Kwaso.
The Kwaso stool was assigned to the left wing of the Asantehene stool and Nana Kwasohene swears with the “Mponponsuo”, the principal sword of the Asantehene. By tradition, Kwasohene and Kwasohemaa (Kwaso Chief & Queen) are appointed from the Aduana clan.
