Korhogo

Korhogo

▪ Côte d’Ivoire
 town, north central Côte d'Ivoire (Ivory Coast). The town's traditional founder was Nangui (Nengué), a 14th-century Senufo (Senoufo) patriarch from Kong. Modern Korhogo (Heritage) is the chief trade centre (corn [maize], manioc, millet, and yams) for the Senufo farmers of the savanna. Muslim Fulani herdsmen from the north also helped make it a major centre for livestock (cattle, sheep, and goats).

      The town has cotton, sisal, and rice factories and a government veterinary research station. French Roman Catholic missionaries established a church and school in the town in the late 19th century. Korhogo's Senufo wood sculptors, practitioners of a traditional art utilized by the Poro secret society, also create artifacts for the tourist market in Abidjan. The nearby village of Koni is known for its blacksmiths, who not only work iron but extract it from local deposits. Pop. (2003 est.) 115,000.
