History
The colonial village of Saint-Donat, known as Tadjenanet today, was established in 1872 on the lands of the municipality of Oued Athmania, on the edge of the Tadjnit Valley. It is located on the road from Algiers to Constantine. The origin of the name is not as commonly believed among the city's residents, who tell stories that it was either a "Garden of Olives" (Jnan Zaytoun) or that there was a "Crown for a Roman Queen named Nanet." Instead, it is derived from "Taqqennant" or "Tayennant," meaning a flat land, as it sits on an expanse of entirely level terrain.
Geography
Tadjenanet is located 75 km south-west of Mila and 18 km from Chelghoum Laïd on the RN 5 connecting Algiers to Constantine. At an altitude of 850 m, it is crossed from West to East by the Oued Rhumel. 10 km to the south is the Ouled Abdennour forest, backed by the Djebel Rokbet ank Djmal. It is located 75 km from Constantine, 96 km from Batna, 56 km from Sétif and finally 23 km from the town of El Eulma, known for its wholesale market which generates significant trade flows. 20 km to the south is the wilaya of Batna.
