The first recorded Ahiara contact with the Europeans was around 1905 when the British Aro expedition got mixed up in inter- village war which eventually had Dr. Steward a victim, as a consequence the Ahiara people were severely punished by the British forces with an invasion which forced many citizens to flee and never returned.
The Ahiara Slogan is ''Decent Dexterity''.
==Origin==
Ahiara was founded by a man of that name. He was the son of Anunu, popular called ''Odo ji Anunu''. His sibling Avuvu became a part of Ikeduru. Etymologically, the name Ahiara is a type of plant among the Igbo people. The leaves of this plant signify peace. The great Ezes of Igbo used to travel with Ahiara leaves to guarantee peaceful journeys across several territories. Before Christianity which 89 percent of the people practice traditional religion held sway. Ahiara does not practise centralized system of government. The ten chief priests and chief priestess were the symbol of authority and they occasionally met to deliberate and pass motions which eventually became tradition and laws. They also conferred titles to deserving citizens. Among those was Hon Nze.H.C. O Uhegbu who was conferred with the title of Nze Onugotu of Ahiara as at the time he was the first man in Ahiara to represent the clan in the state legislature.
