Adama (Oromo: {{lang|om|Adaamaa}} or {{lang|om|Hadaamaa}}; Amharic: {{lang|am|አዳማ}}, {{transl|am|EAE|Ädama}}, {{transl|am|BGN/PCGN|Ādama}}), also known[2] is a city in central Ethiopia.[3][4] Adama forms a Special Zone of Oromia and is surrounded by Misraq Shewa Zone. It is located at {{Coord|8.54|N|39.27|E|type:city}} at an elevation of 1712 meters, 99 km southeast of Addis Ababa. The city sits between the base of an escarpment to the west, and the Great Rift Valley to the east.

Overview

Adama is a busy transportation center. The city is situated along the road that connects Addis Ababa with Dire Dawa. A large number of trucks use this same route to travel to and from the seaports of Djibouti and Asseb (though the latter is not currently used by Ethiopia, following the Eritrean-Ethiopian War). Additionally, the new Addis Ababa-Djibouti Railway runs through Adama.[4][5][7][6]

Adama University (formerly Adama Technical Teachers College) is located in Adama. Adama Stadium is the home of Adama City FC, a member of the Ethiopian Football Federation league.

The city name Adama may have been derived from the Oromo word {{lang|om|adaamii}}, which means a cactus or a cactus-like tree.[7] More specifically, {{lang|om|adaamii}} means Euphorbia candelabrum,[8] a tree of the spurge family, while {{lang|om|hadaamii}} would mean Indian fig.[9]

History

Following World War II, Emperor Haile Selassie renamed the town after Biblical Nazareth, and this name was used for the remainder of the twentieth century.[10] In 2000, the city officially reverted to its original Oromo language name, Adama,[10][11] though "Nazareth" is still widely used.[12]

With an area of 29.86 square kilometers, Adama has a population density of 7,374.82; all are urban inhabitants. A total of 60,174 households were counted in this city, which results in an average of 3.66 persons to a household, and 59,431 housing units.
