Wag Province

Wag (Amharic: ዋግ) is a traditional Highland district in the Amhara Region of Ethiopia, in the approximate location of the modern Wag Hemra Zone.

Weld Blundell described the district as bounded on the south by the mountains of Lasta, on the east and north by the Tellare River, and the west by the Tekezé.

The head of the fallen Zagwe family accepted the district as well as the title of Wagshum as part of the settlement for their loss.

[2] Mugahid of Adal led the conquest of Wag in the sixteenth century.
