Katsina, Administrative center in Katsina State, Nigeria.
Katsina occupies 142 square kilometers of northern Nigeria, situated 260 kilometers east of Sokoto and 135 kilometers northwest of Kano.
Founded around 1100 AD, Katsina developed into the largest Hausa city-state until British administration took control of the region in 1903.
The Emir's Palace, constructed in 1348 CE by King Muhammadu Korau, stands as the central structure representing Hausa-Fulani governmental traditions.
Agricultural production forms the economic foundation of Katsina, with facilities dedicated to processing peanut oil and manufacturing steel products.
The establishment of Katsina Teachers College in the 1950s marked the introduction of middle school education in northern Nigeria.
