The Agbon Kingdom (also Agbon ẹkpotọ, Agbon clan) is one of twenty-two subunits of Urhobo culture that have been in existence since before the rise of the Benin Empire in the 1440s and before the arrival of the Portuguese in the Western Niger Delta in the 1480s.〔 It is located in the Delta State of Nigeria which occupies a large space of about 375 square kilometres. This kingdom is surrounded by other Urhobo communities in the locality. The traditional seat of government in this kingdom is at Isiokolo. ==History== Oral tradition speaks of migrations from the ancient Bini kingdom by the Urhobos that gave rise to this area.〔 The founders of Agbon migrated through Kwale, probably from Erhowa, settled at Ehwen and Erhivwi or Irri in present Isoko division of Delta State. From there they moved down to Utokori, close to Ughwerun; then to Olomu and through the present Ughelli territory of Ekuigbo to found Otorho r' Agbon now known as Isiokolo. Isiokolo is now the recognised ancestral place of leadership by the members of this kingdom. The current king of Agbon Kingdom is His Majesty, Michael G. Omeru, (JP) Ukori I, The Ovie of Agbon.
