Ibadan, Historical capital city in southwestern Nigeria
Located on seven hills at 200 meters above sea level, Ibadan extends across 3,080 square kilometers in the Oyo State of Nigeria.
The city originated in 1829 as a military camp when armies from Ife, Ijebu, and Oyo kingdoms established a settlement during regional conflicts.
Markets throughout Ibadan showcase traditional crafts including weaving, pottery, blacksmithing, and the production of adire, the indigo-dyed textile patterns.
The transportation network includes multiple taxi services, minibuses, and regular bus routes connecting all sections of the metropolitan area.
The University of Ibadan, established in 1948, maintains the largest library collection in Nigeria and leads the nation's academic research programs.
