Goro, SNNPR (woreda)

Goro was one of the 77 woredas in the Southern Nations, Nationalities, and Peoples' Region of Ethiopia. This woreda was named after one of the sub-groups of the Sebat Bet Gurage, the Goro. Part of the Gurage Zone, Goro was bordered on the south by the Wabe River which separates it from Cheha, on the west and north by the Oromia Region, on the farther east by Kokir Gedebano Gutazer, and on the southeast by Ezhana Wolene. The major town in Goro was Welkite. Goro was divided for Abeshge, Kebena and Welkite woredas.

Local landmarks include the Acho Falls on the Wabe river which is 60 meters in height, and Walga Falls on the Walga river which is 30 meters in height.[1]

Goro was selected by the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Development in 2004 as one of several woredas for voluntary resettlement for farmers from overpopulated areas, becoming the new home for a total of 3000 heads of households and 12,000 total family members.[2]
