Ibadan was created in 1829 as a war camp for warriors coming from Oyo, Ile-Ife, and Ijebu. A forest site and several ranges of hills, varying in elevation from 160 to 275 metres, the city offered strategic defence opportunities in ancient times.

In this modern period, Ibadan is the largest indigenous city in West Africa and is located in the South-Western part of Nigeria. It is the capital city of Oyo State and is located about 145 km northeast of Lagos, the commercial capital of Nigeria. Its population of 2.5 million people according to the 2006 census results, includes 11 local government areas.
