The founder of this town is known as Ajanaku Isaiah Oke (Agbele) in the year 1822 AD. It is located between Esa-Odo Town and Ilare Ijesa in Obokun East Local Government Development Area in Osun State.

The name of the town was originally called “Aba Agbele,” meaning “Agbele Hut,” but as civilization progressed, the name of the town became established as Arojiji Ijesha Kingdom.

This name was extracted from an extraordinary or supernatural fish called “Eja Ojiji” in the Yoruba dialect, known as the electric fish. Its name is synonymous and relative to the Osun Arojiji River goddess, where deities, mermaids, spirit beings, and gods live in the river. There is an annual cultural observance and festival for evocations, invocations, and traditional or customary worship of the goddess to make appeasement, atonements, prayers, and celebration in the land by the priestess of this divinity.

Regular communal activities of farming, hunting, and livestock farming have developed businesses that have grown or germinated to success, enabling the naming of the town after the provisions of the mother river goddess, now known and recognized as Arojiji Ijesha Kingdom.

These cultural practices, worship, paying of homage, obeisance, allegiance of oath, royalty taking, taxes, community welfare, and project development of the town started.

In fact, many houses, family compounds, and erected established buildings have collapsed because many of the people had died away, leaving no descendants. Visible structures evidence the existence of houses and habitats for farmers to this date.
