[1][2][3][4]Otan Ayegbaju or Otan for short, is a small town in Osun State, Southwestern Nigeria. It is the headquarters of the Boluwaduro local government area.

History

It 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.

Its terrain consists of hills, mountains, dense forest, vegetation and gullies caused by erosion. The climate is tropical with warm temperatures and low humidity.
