While the Gedeo Zone is part of the SNNPR state of Ethiopia, it juts into the Oromia regional state along the eastern escarpment of the Rift Valley and is surrounded by Oromia on the east, south, and west. The zone’s administrative center is the laidback town of Dilla in the north of Gedeo. When you drive from Addis Ababa to the southern regions of Gedeo, you pass Dilla and enter the highlands of Yirgacheffe. Topographically, the Gedeo Zone’s lowest point is 1268 meters above sea level, and its highest point is almost 3000 meters above sea level.
The Gedeo Zone is named after its people. True to its name, over 80 percent of the zone’s residents are Gedeo people and speak the Gedeo language. According to the last national census (2007), the zone is home to over 840,000 residents, most of whom live in rural areas. The majority identify as Protestant Christian. But you also find Orthodox Christians and Muslims. The Gedeo people have lived in this area for as long as anyone can remember. One story traces their origin to an aboriginal tribe who may have been the very first people to live in the area.
