Histories about Agulu
The archive links no published history to Agulu yet. Its neighbours’ histories are not shown here, because a link to another community is not a history of this one.
Named in other records
Histories that mention Agulu
These are published records whose own words name Agulu. A mention is not a history of Agulu, which is why they are listed here rather than with the histories about it.
Read as: Agulu. Counted where the name is written with a capital, because a lower-case occurrence of a name that is also an ordinary word is the word.

Forde & Jones record a relationship with Aguluezechuku and Ogboji, both communities of Mbanasa. The Agulu area, taking in the neighbouring groups, is one of the places reached by the elaborated Ọzọ title system of the western uplands as it expanded south.
