History
One of the earliest mentions of Gereger is in the Royal Chronicle of Susenyos, where the Emperor stopped during his campaign against the rebel Yona'el in 1620. The Emperor Yohannes I also alighted in this town while returning to Aringo, which he reached 11 December 1677. During the later 18th century, Filakit Gereger served as the capital of Begemder, and was where Ras Ali died in 1788. By 1964, Gereger was the administrative center of Shedeho Mekiet woreda.
