The country of Togo received its name from the village now known as Togoville. Togolese people are made up predominantly of the Ewe tribe. Other tribes include the Twi speaking people of Central Togo, the Kabyé and the Tamberma. Togo is noted for its beautiful countryside. The Grande Marche is located in the center of the capital city, Lome, and is a place other West African nationals visit to purchase Togolese goods. This beautiful, mountainous country is one of the smallest countries in the region but is very diverse in both geography and culture.
