The eponymous region is an area of swamps and ironstone plateaus inhabited mainly by the Dinka, who make their living through subsistence farming and cattle herding.
The region was later incorporated into Anglo-Egyptian Sudan and, from 1956, became a province and then a state of the independent Republic of Sudan.
