History
[edit]Dalbo used as a capital city of Kingdom of Wolaita. During his reign, King Gobe managed to inaugurate a telephone network that links Dalbo with Wachamo, the northern neighboring Kingdom of Hadiya. There is also the Royal Palace, which at ground plus one level, was the most sophisticated and built by Europeans standard. Dalbo city had been a center where the diplomats reside and very busy in receiving telephone calls coming from the Red Sea littorals and other places.[3]
After King Menelik II's triumph, the palace and other government offices in Dalbo, the Kingdom of Wolaita's capital and the most populated metropolitan center in colonial Africa, were set on fire. All of the houses, including the magnificent palace of Tona, were turned to ash, including seventy houses in the palace's inner circle that served as residences for top dignitaries, the court, a treasury house, and a meeting center, and 2800 houses of generals, and a warehouse of exportable items in the outer compound.[4]
