== History ==
The ''Royal Chronicle'' of Emperor Yohannes I mentions Samre as one of the settlements involved in the 1677 revolt of Fares and Zamaryam.〔G.W.B. Huntingford, ''The historical geography of Ethiopia from the first century AD to 1704'', (Oxford University Press: 1989), p. 235〕 The town is mentioned again in an inquiry conducted by Emperor Iyasu I in 1698, in which he proclaimed that tolls should no longer be collected there.〔Huntingford, ''The historical geography'', p. 237〕
When Charles Beke left Ethiopia, his path took him through Samre (April 1843). He wrote that it was the residence of the governor of "Salowa", and the location of "the salt-market of Tigre, in direct correspondence with Sókota in Lasta".〔Charles T. Beke, ("Abyssinia. Being a Continuation of Routes in That Country", ''Journal of the Royal Geographical Society'' ), 14 (1844), p. 60〕 When Augustus B. Wylde passed through Samre in the late 1890s, the town had declined since the death of its resident lord, one Ras Hailu. The late Ras's palace, one of the largest structures Wylde had seen in Ethiopia, was reduced to ruins, and its market, which had been so busy to require daily sessions, now met once a week on Saturdays.〔Augustus B. Wylde, ''Modern Abyssinia'' (London: Methuen, 1901), p. 321〕
During the Ethiopian Civil War, units of the Tigray People's Liberation Front held Samre from 20 June through 22 1988 against the Ethiopian 16th Division in a delaying action against the government's Operation Adwa.〔Gebru Tareke, ''The Ethiopian Revolution: War in the Horn of Africa'' (New Haven: Yale University, 2009), p. 257〕
