The Fantees' are a people of West Africa inhabiting the coastal district of what is now Ghana, between the Ashantees and the sea. They were at one time the most numerous and powerful people situated immediately on the Gold Coastseaboard; but their power was almost entirely broken after 1811 by repeated invasions of the Ashantees and finally the colonisation by the British.
