Origins of Aklia:

Coming from the Aklia village myself there has been multiple theories towards the creation of aklia. An old folktale states that there was a man named aklia and previously there were many gangs in the area of current day Aklia. Due to this many people had lost their jobs, families and homes. The man stood up towards the injustice and ended the fighting once and for all.
