== History ==
In 1889, when it was a fief of Queen Taytu, Italian ambassador Count Pietro Antonelli met with Emperor Menelik II at Wuchale shortly after the death in battle of Emperor Yohannes IV. The two countries came to an agreement known as the Treaty of Wuchale, which was signed on 2 May.〔Chris Prouty, ''Empress Taytu and Menilek II'' (Trenton: The Red Sea Press, 1986), pp. 61f. ISBN 0-932415-11-3〕 Differences between the two versions, one written in Amharic the other in Italian, led to the First Italo–Ethiopian War.
Writing a few years later, Augustus B. Wylde described the Wuchale market, held on Mondays, as a small one.〔Augustus B. Wylde, Modern Abyssinia (London: Methuen, 1901), p. 494〕
The Tigrayan People's Liberation Front and Ethiopian People's Democratic Movement reported that they had killed 703 government troops and captured 168 in fighting at Wuchale on 29–30 January 1990. However, the Derg announced on 2 February that their troops had retaken the town.〔("Local History in Ethiopia" ) The Nordic Africa Institute website (accessed 15 February 2008)〕
