Etymology
[edit]Aiyepe Olode derives from the world "Hunters-Garage".[1]
History
[edit]Aiyepe Olode was built during the reign of Ademiluyi Ajagun (1910—1930).[1] The settlement was established by Ajani Anibijuwon Omisore as a way to link the wilderness to other parts of Ife.[1] Omisore made the hunters sign an agreement to pay royalties to him.[1] The settlement grew in fame as Ife elites came in and joined Omisore, with each getting a partition of the wilderness.[1] In 2021, electricity was promised to restored to the town after 10 years without electricity.[2]
