Isin LGA of Kwara State was created from the old Irepodun Local Government Area in 1996 with the headquarters at Owu-Isin.

Collectively, these towns are today located in Isin Local Government area of Kwara State.

The present ruler of Isanlu Isin also referred to as Olusin, is Oba Solomon Oluwagbemiga Oloyede.

To the north of Isanlu isin and Isin towns as a whole are Igbajaland, Oraland and Ireland; to the west are Ajasse Ipo and Oro; to the east are Oro Ago, Olla and Osi in Ekiti LG; while to the south are Apaland, Arandun and Omu-Aran.

Settlements with their appointed chiefs (usually the eldest or a philanthropist in the family) thus became wards in Isanlu Isin up till this day.
