Wereta appears in the ''Royal chronicles'' during the first reign of Emperor Tekle Giyorgis (1779-1784), as the place whence ''Ras'' Hailu Eshte fled after escaping imprisonment in Gondar.〔H. Weld Blundell, ''The Royal chronicle of Abyssinia, 1769-1840'' (Cambridge: University Press, 1922), p. 336〕 Wereta was included as one of the stages of the Gondar-Boso trade route of the 1840s, located immediately south of the Reb River, according to a list compiled by Antoine Thomson d'Abbadie in his ''Geodesie d'Ethiopie''.〔G.W.B. Huntingford, ''Historical Geography of Ethiopia from the first century AD to 1704'' (London: British Academy, 1989), p. 255〕
