The region was likely under Ethiopian Christian control during Emperor Amda Seyon by the 14th century however it was contested by the Muslim Ifat Sultanate's Sabr ad-Din I. The region's inhabitants were mostly the now extinct Gafat people. Endagabatan was invaded by the Adal Sultanate under Ahmad ibn Ibrahim al-Ghazi in the middle of the sixteenth century. In 1563 the region was also the site of a rebellion led by Emperor Sarsa Dengel's cousin Hamalmal which is known as the Battle of Endagabatan. Modern day Endagabatan was incorporated into Shewa province in the 19th century. See also
