Paga's claim to fame is its famous crocodiles.
Legend has it that long ago a hunter was trapped between a pond and a pursuing lion.
He made a bargain with a crocodile he saw in the pond that he and his decendents would never eat crocodile meat if the crocodile helped him cross the pond and escape from the lion. The crocodile agreed and the hunter was safely carried across. The hunter established his house and later a village. A.Adu , who is from Paga, has an alternative story about the origin of Paga. Mr. Adu writes that the founder of Paga, Nave by name, actually came from Leo in Burkina Faso.
