Isara-Remo is an ancient town in the present-day Remo North Local Government Area in Ogun State in Nigeria.
Isara-Remo is almost exactly halfway between Lagos and Ibadan, very large metropolitan cities that have strongly influenced the history of Nigeria.
History has it that since Prince Adeyemo had little or no chance at all of attaining the throne in Ife, he elected to create his own living away from the palace and on getting to what is now called 'Okerekere' in present-day Isara, he found the site suitable due to its defensive topography and decided to settle there.
A town of predominantly farmers and hunters, the men of Isara-Remo have not been known to take part in any major wars except as peacemakers.
In an ancient traditional rotation system, each family takes turns to present its preferred son or candidate to serve as the Odemo of Isara.
