Kareto is a town located in the Mobbar Local Government Area (LGA) of Borno State, Nigeria.

During the colonial era, the region, including Kareto, was under British administration as part of Nigeria.

The fertile lands surrounding the town support the cultivation of crops such as millet, sorghum, maize, and vegetables.

Kareto, like many towns in the region, faces challenges in terms of infrastructure development.

Efforts have been made to improve road connectivity, healthcare facilities, and educational institutions.
