had been established in the late 1800s, a portion of Dwabeng had separated from Asanteman and found asylum in Okyeman, the Akyem nation and created New Juabeng also called Koforidua. To this day, they had been independent from the golden stool. When Nana Kofi Karikari (King of Ashantis) and his Kumasi forces (now in the Ashanti Region) attacked Dwabeng and its allies in October 1875, the Sekyere towns of Effiduase and Asokore formed an alliance. Whilst Effiduase and Asokore were led by their chiefs during the sojourn, Oyoko and their king Nana Adjei Bohyen, was one of the Sekyere towns which migrated to present day New Juaben in the now Eastern Region under the leadership of Nana Kwaku Boateng and killed Kofi Karikari. It was his nephew Kwadwo Kesse who led the migrants from Asante - Oyoko to present day New Juaben in the Eastern Region and they came with their sacred stool (Kro and Dabo Stool) Geography Location The town is close to the Ejisu-Juaben Municipal district's capital, Ejisu.

People of Notable Descent According to Amy Ashwood-Garvey, 1st wife of Jamaican Pan-Africanist founder Marcus Garvey, her grandmother told her that she descended from Dwaben (pronounced "Juaben") and that her grandmother (known as "Granny Dabas") was a captive from Juaben. Granny Dabas's name was Boahemaa. In 1924 she met J. B. Danquah in London and told him her grandmother's story and Danquah confirmed to her that Dwaben is in fact an Asante city-state. Fifteen years later she also met another Ghanaian Barrister Kwabena Kese. In 1946, Barrister Kese took Mrs Garvey to Juaben leading to the verification of her Granny Dabas' account and would later adopt the name Akosua Boahemaa. She would also meet Osei Tutu Agyeman Prempeh
