Were Ilu (woreda)
Were Ilu is one of the woredas in the Amhara Region of Ethiopia. This woreda is named for one of the "Houses" or subgroups of the Wollo Oromo that used to govern the area and is still located there.〔(''Journals of the Rev. Messrs. Isenberg and Krapf, Missionaries of the Church Missionary Society, Detailing their proceedings in the kingdom of Shoa, and journeys in other parts of Abyssinia, in the years 1839, 1840, 1841 and 1842'' ), (London, 1843), pp. 324f〕 Part of the Debub Wollo Zone, Were Ilu is bordered on the southwest by Jama, on the west by Legahida, on the northwest by Legambo, on the north by Dessie Zuria, on the east by the Abuko, and on the southeast by the Wanchet which separates it from the Semien Shewa Zone. Towns in Were Ilu include Kabe, Were Ilu and Weyin Amba; a historic landmark is Mekane Selassie, the site of a church destroyed by Imam Ahmad Gragn. Woreda of Legahida was separated from Were Ilu.
Were Ilu stretches over a number of the ridges and valleys on the southern side of the massif which includes Mount Amba Ferit. Elevations range from about 1700 meters above sea level at the confluence of the Wanchet with its tributary the Sawan at the woreda's southmost point to about 3200 meters on its northern border.〔Svein Ege, ("South Wälo 1:100,000.
