Abraka is one of the 25 Urhobo kingdoms in Delta state, Nigeria, a major town that is strategically located in the heart of Delta State. It is mostly known as a university town and has the main campus of the Delta State University Lo
cated there. Abraka town is a favorite destination for domestic and international tourists. The Abraka beach is famous for its natural flowing spring water, and has sports recreational facilities for outdoor activities like coastal line transportation and fishing, swimming, barbecue, picnicking, etc. Avwraka (Abraka) is one of the few Urhobo socio-political units whose predecessors did not live elsewhere among non-Urhobo ethnic group before settling in Urhoboland. The Avwraka story of genealogical link with the royal descent group of Benin is an issue seen by most historians as controversial. Avwraka may actually have been a Prince in an Edo-speaking political group which emigrated and settled near other Urhobo people. The contemporary main version of the historical traditions of Avwraka (Abraka) states that before Avwraka died in Otorho-Avwraka, he had two sons called Aghwa and Ivie. These are the distant ancestors of Umiaghwa and Oruarivie of Avwraka today. The main settlements of Avwraka (Abraka) today are :
Oria,
Urhuagbesa,
Umeghe,
Oteri (founded by descendants of Oruarivie)
Otorho- Avwraka (Avwraka inland) is the traditional center of administration and government. The construction of link road to Sapele in 1901, increased the commercial activities and population in Avwraka. On 6 May 1978 the whole of Avwraka resolved to constitute themselves into a kingdom like most Urhobo kingdoms. They decided to have Chief David Oghenegueke Dafe as their Ovie (king) and Chief Joseph Ajarho Atagana from Umiaghwa as their otota (spokesman). Recent historical development in Avwraka (Abraka) has re-introduced the much needed unity. The development has been recognised by the government of then Bendel state through legal notice no. 99 of 1990 under the traditional rulers and chiefs edit. Climate
