Iwo, Local government area in Osun State, Nigeria
The 245-square-kilometer territory includes 81 district towns and villages, each governed by a Baale who reports to the Oluwo of Iwoland.
The settlement originated from Ile-Ife in the 11th century and later became one of the principal townships within Osun State after separating from old Oyo State.
The Oluwo of Iwoland supervises a network of district heads who maintain traditional practices across the region's numerous communities and settlements.
The territory connects to major cities through railway tracks from Ibadan, supporting the trade of cocoa, kolanuts, foodstuff, yams, meat, and timber.
The region contains the first Shariah court established in Nigeria and houses the meeting point of River Oba and River Osun.
