History
The region has a history that includes the presence of early hunter-gatherer societies dating back to 14,000 BCE, followed by the emergence of agricultural settlements between 3600 and 2600 BCE. Iron working, crucial for early development, appeared in the region by 800-700 BCE. Various ethnic groups, including the Mossi, Fula, and Dioula, settled in the area in successive waves between the 8th and 15th centuries CE. The territory came under French control, becoming a French protectorate in 1896. It became part of Republic of Upper Volta in 1958 and later as a part of Burkina Faso.[1]
