This small path leading into Salaga is believed to be one of the paths that slaves were forced to walk from the places of their capture in the interior to the Salaga market. During the Trans-Atlantic slave trade, Salaga served as an important market from where slaves were transported to the coast for export. The market in Jamestown district in the Ghanian capital of Accra is called the "Salaga Market"; it was a slave market where the slaves from the Salaga slave market were sold.
