Ghana is referred to as the Gold Coast due to its historical abundance of gold resources, which attracted European traders and colonizers in the 15th century. The term "Gold Coast" was used by the Portuguese and later by other European powers to describe the region along the Gulf of Guinea, where gold was extensively mined and traded. This name persisted until Ghana gained independence from British colonial rule in 1957, reflecting its rich natural wealth and significance in trade.
