 | Moreover, the highland of Shewa is separated from highlands to the north by a narrow lowland strip. |
| Shewa first appears in the historical record as a Muslim state, which G.W.B. Huntingford believed was founded in 896, and had its capital at Walalah. |
| In the 16th century, Shewa was ravaged and separated from the rest of Ethiopia by the forces of Ahmed Gragn; the region then came under pressure from the Oromo, who succeeded during the first decades of the following century in settling in the depopulated areas and making themselves masters. |
