Ẹdẹ is a town in Osun State, southwestern Nigeria.

[2] It lies along the Osun River at a point on the railroad from Lagos, 180 kilometres (110 mi) southwest, and at the intersection of roads from Oshogbo, Ogbomosho, and Ile-Ife.

This can be traced back to 19th century during the reign of Timi Abibu Lagunju as the king of Ẹdẹ, who is the first Muslim Oba in Yorubaland given the fact that he was already on the throne for a few years when in November 1857, the Baptist missionary W. H. Clark visited Ẹdẹ.

[4][5][6] Clarke recorded thus: "This young follower of the Prophet (Prophet Muhammad), a short time since became the ruler of this town in the place of his father (Oduniyi), the deceased, and brings with him into office, the influence of his new religion (Islam)."

The Town yearly temperature is 29.22 °C (84.6 °F) and it is -0.24% lower than Nigeria's averages.
