==Overview==
The road that originally connected Agaro to Jimma was "better known for its ''depth'' than for its length" until improvements were completed in 1962. The road to Bedele, 96 km long, was completed in 1968 at a cost of 12 million dollars (Ethiopian), by the French company Razel Frères. Agaro is one of the most important trading centers of coffee in Ethiopia.〔("Local History in Ethiopia" ) (pdf) The Nordic Africa Institute website (accessed 16 November 2007)〕 The Jimma Institute of Public Health (part of Jimma University) operates a teaching center for health care in Agaro.〔(Directory of Potential Institutions for Testing Malaria Vaccines ), Secretariat, African Malaria Vaccine Testing Network (Dar es Salaam, 2004), p. 37〕
Agaro was the capital of the former Kingdom of Gomma, until Gomma was conquered by Dejazmach Besha Abuye in 1886. By 1958, the settlement was one of 27 places in Ethiopia ranked as a First Class Township. Fitawrari Gebre Kristos, started coffee plantations in the 1950s on land he inherited from his grandfather Fitawrari Wossen. Fitawrari Besha could employ up to 400 workers during high harvest season. After the Ethiopian revolution, Gebre Kristos abandoned his plantation and retired to Addis Ababa; his plantation was nationalized by the Land Nationalization Proclamation of March 1975.〔
