History reveals that Isara, the city set on hill which cannot be hid was founded in the year 15th century by the great Ile - Ife Prince Adeyemo (Ade - Omo), a descendant of Oni Osikanlu whose famous hunting expendition brought him to the vicinity of the present location of the town. The name of the town is coined from events and manifestations, which followed (Adeomo) Adeyemo's consultation with the Ifa oracle on choosing the permanent location of the town. The town's cognomen Afotamodi ' meaning they whose city fortifications are rich in ammunition's' is a testimony to the fact that the town has never been subdued or overrun by any invading forces. Many other smaller communities near the town, including our present, most prominent antagonist, gladly took refuge within the town and some consequently merged with it after fleeing from the many Yoruba inter tribal wars and European Wars of conquest.

The town is built around a range of hills bounded by beautiful ridges and scenery and this unique settings confers several advantages on her. It is one of the best naturally drained towns in the country, a feature promoting environmental sanitation. Its geological structure makes it a watershed from which many perennials streams and springs take their source. Such naturally beneficial features promote good health and longevity amongst the inhabitants, a fact which encouraged the colonial masters to build the only second rest House in Remo Land at Isara.

Isara town was , at a time, the sixth largest town in ogun state (1963 censu) and the second largest in Remo Zone . It is largest by land area, foremost most populous and only urban town in Remo North Local Government.

The Town is situated about 80 kilometers from the economic nerve center of the country , Lagos and approximately 50 kilometers from Ibadan and about 70 kilometers from Ogun State capital Abeokuta, the town is strategically located for both economics and other purppses.

The bulk of Isara people are seasoned farmers who show unquenchable interest and take great pride in the primordial and noble occupation of farming while a smaller percentage engage in age - long traditional craft. Isara is the leading producer of oil palm produce, cocoa, cassava, maize, yam, cocoyam, plantain, citrus , rice and many more. What a beautiful town and am very pround to be a citizen of Isara.
