Nasarawa is in central Nigeria’s Nasarawa State. The settlement is north of an Okwa River branch, a Benue River tributary. Umaru, a dissident official from Keffi, Katsina State, formed Nasarawa in 1835 in the Eloyi (Afo) tribe region as the new emirate’s headquarters.

Umaru conquered surrounding land and became Nassarawa Zaria’s vassal (175 miles [282 km] north). Muhammadu Dan Waji (reigned 1878–1923) extended the emirate via conquests and pledged allegiance to Britain in 1900. Nasarawa was part of Plateau State from 1976 to 1996.
