History
Injibara was the scene of (in the words of Sven Rubenson) "one of the most bloody battles" of Emperor Tewodros' reign. In 1863, he marched against Tedla Gwalu, who had revolted against him in Gojjam. Whilst Tewodros defeated Gwalu in the battle, Gwalu escaped to continue his revolt against the Emperor. Modern Injibara was constructed since 1991 at a place called Kosober by locals, at the junction of Highway 3 from Addis Ababa to Bahir Dar and the road leading west towards Chagni and into Metekel Zone. The older town of Injibara is situated approximately north of Modern Injibara at , at a elevation.
