The historical narrative of Odi-Olowo weaves a complex tale, its origins shrouded in the mists of time. While the precise founding date remains elusive, evidence suggests that the land was initially under the stewardship of the 'IGBARIS' from the orient.
They established their domain under the leadership of 'Oloja Fisa', settling on the expansive expanse of virgin land known as 'Ewe-Aigbogbo' or Waigboland, which later encompassed Odi-Olowo and Ojuwoye. With the establishment of Lagos State in 1967, Odi-Olowo's significance grew, driven by its economic potential and burgeoning population.
The area became synonymous with manufacturing and production, boasting a multitude of industries, numbering over one hundred and sixty. Its strategic location, adjacent to major markets like Oshodi, Awolowo, and Ojuwoye, further solidified its status as a thriving industrial hub within Lagos State. Governance in Odi-Olowo is traditionally structured around a first-class Oba, supported by Baales, Chiefs, and Community Leaders. Religiously, Odi-Olowo reflects a diverse tapestry, encompassing followers of Christianity, Islam, and traditional beliefs. This rich blend of history, economics, and culture renders Odi-Olowo a vibrant and dynamic entity within the fabric of Lagos State.
