HistoryIt is believed that Otan Ayegbaju was founded by some of the direct descendants of Oduduwa some five hundred years ago. Oduduwa is the mythical founding father of all Yorubaland. The founders left Ile-ife, the birthplace of the Yoruba people, to settle initially at Otan-ile in Ijesaland before migrating to present day Otan Ayegabaju. The Owa Of Otan Ayegbaju is the title given to the traditional paramount ruler or King. Today, that position is held by Oba Lukman Adesola Ojo Fadipe, Arenibiowo Owa Olatanka III. Otan is a culturally rich town whose population consists mainly of the Ijesas and Oyo tribal group. GeographyOtan is located in the northern area of Osun State, thirty-seven kilometers from Oshogbo the state capital. It covers a land mass of 100 km2. Its terrain consists of hills, mountains, dense forest, vegetation and gullies caused by erosion. The climate is tropical with warm temperatures and low humidity.
