Ajeromi-Ifelodun is a local government area in Lagos that spans a densely urban landscape with residential districts, markets, and commercial zones. The district encompasses several key trading centers including Boundary Market, Wilmer Market, and Odunade Market that form the backbone of the local economy.
The area was established as a separate administrative division on October 1, 1976, when it was carved out from the original Lagos Local Government Area. This administrative reorganization was part of a broader restructuring of local government divisions across Lagos State.

The three main markets - Boundary Market, Wilmer Market, and Odunade Market - are the central points for exploring the commercial and social life of the area. They are best visited in the mornings and early afternoons when most activity takes place.
The area is known for its extremely high population density, making it one of the most densely populated urban neighborhoods. This concentration of people creates a dynamic and energetic environment with intense social interactions throughout the streets and markets.
