In 1925, when Ghana was called the British Gold Coast Colony, provincial councils of chiefs were established in all three territories of the colony, partly to give the chiefs a colony-wide function. The 1927 Native Administration Ordinance clarified and regulated the powers and areas of jurisdiction of chiefs and councils. In 1935 the Native Authorities Ordinance combined the central colonial government and the local authorities into a single governing system. New native authorities, appointed by the governor, were given wide powers of local government under the supervision of the central government's provincial commissioners.

The stool land (kingdom) of Sefwi Obeng-Mim, under the Sefwi Wiawso Traditional Area and Paramount King, was constituted in 1935 under the first chief/king, Nana Kwame Obeng I. His Majesty, Obeng I, with his chief priest, ushered in reforms to the constitution and the ceremonial regalia (cloths, ornaments, and decorations). Even though the size of the kingdom seems small in comparison to other stool lands, it’s people and leaders have been a powerhouse in the development of not only their region but also the whole Traditional Area and post-colonial Ghana.
