Geladin ({{lang-so|Geladi}}) is a town in eastern Ethiopia. Located in the Werder Zone of the Somali Region, this town has a latitude and longitude of {{coord|06|57|N|46|25|E|display=inline,title}} with an elevation between 427 and 530 meters above sea level. Arthur Donaldson Smith records he visited Geladin (which he also calls "Bari") in January 1895, which he estimated had 3,000 inhabitants at the time.[1] The British used Geladin as a base during their war against Sayid Mohammed Abdullah Hassan in 1903, after their victory over Hassan at Erigo.[2] By 1932, the Italians had built a road from Danot to Geladin over terrain that officially lay within Ethiopian territory. This was one of many acts that led to the Second Italian-Abyssinian War years later.[3]Based on figures from the Central Statistical Agency in 2005, this town has an estimated total population of 10,795, of whom 5,961 are men and 4,834 are women.[4] The 1997 census reported this town had a total population of 7,233 of whom 3,938 were men and 3,295 women. The largest ethnic group reported in this town was the Somali (99.17%), it is populated mainly by the Reer Bicidyahan,and Mareexaan clan.[5] It is the largest town in Geladin woreda.
