== History ==
Chalacot is mentioned in a charter written in 1794, when Emperor Tekle Giyorgis made a grant to Meqdese Selassie Church in the village; the document mentions seven properties.〔("Local History in Ethiopia" ) (pdf) The Nordic Africa Institute website (accessed 21 April 2008)〕 Ras Wolde Selassie made Chalacot his capital, and received Henry Salt there in 1810. The Ras built a palace in the village, as well as houses for his wives and the church Chelekot Selassie, which Philips Briggs described as an "architecturally impressive example of the circular ''tikul'' styles of paintings" and "covered in beautiful 19th-century paintings".〔Philip Briggs, ''Ethiopia: the Bradt Travel Guide'', third edition (London: Bradt, 2002), p. 269〕 When Wolde Selassie died in Chalacot (1816), his nephew Walda Rufa'el sacked it.〔Richard K.P. Pankhurst, ''History of Ethiopian Towns: From the Middle Ages to the Early Nineteenth Century'' (Wiesbaden: Franz Steiner Verlag, 1982), vol. 1 pp. 207f〕
The town had recovered its former prosperity by the 1840s when Ferret and Galiner visited it; they described it as "one of the principal towns" of Ethiopia, with a population of 3,000 living in well-constructed houses and well-kept gardens. However, a little more than generation later Chalacot had declined; Guglielmo Massaia found only 200 houses with about 1,000 inhabitants and in the 1880s Augustus B. Wylde reported he counted only 80 houses there. The town suffered further losses during the First Italo–Ethiopian War according to Richard Pankhurst, who included Chalacot in a list of northern Ethiopian towns affected by the "disturbed conditions of the times."〔Richard Pankhurst, ''Economic History of Ethiopia'' (Addis Ababa: Haile Sellasie I University, 1968), pp. 691f〕
