'''Ugbo''' is one of the few aborigines east of the River Niger, Nigeria, and has existed in its current location dating back to the [[Ancient History]] (3000 BC – AD 500). The town is known for its natural habitat, including serene hills, caves, large rocks and stones, rivers, forests, wild animals, and fertile lands. Ugbo is the ancestral home to many towns in [[Igboland]]. Ogulugu (which later split into Ugbo and the neighboring [[Obeagu]] community) is the oldest son of Ewa, the original progenitor of nearby communities, including Amoli, Agbudu, Isu-Awaa (Ewa), [[Ituku]], and Ogbaku. The Ewa (Awaa) kindred, together with [[Ntuegbe]], make up what is known as [[Mbanabor]] clan in Awgu LGA of Enugu State. Based on 2006 census, the population of Ugbo is projected to be about 32,000. Ugbo comprises three autonomous communities, namely, [[Ugbo-Okpala|Ugbo Okpala]]<ref>{{Cite web |title=Ugbo Okpala Obodo Erosion Control, Awgu Lga, Enugu State |url=https://eyemark.ng/project/construction-of-access-road-irebami-streetirebami-line-4-off-fajuyi-road-ile-ife-ife-federal-cons-ergp202201641 |access-date=2025-06-13 |website=Eyemark |language=en}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web |title=Ugbo Okpala Archives |url=https://ozikoro.com/tag/ugbo-okpala/ |access-date=2025-06-13 |website=Ozi Ikòrò |language=en-US}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web |last=Jeremiah |first=Urowayino |date=2025-03-23 |title=Ogbonnia matriarch goes home April 23 |url=https://www.vanguardngr.com/2025/03/ogbonnia-matriarch-goes-home-april-23/ |access-date=2025-06-13 |website=Vanguard News |language=en-GB}}</ref>, [[Ugbonabor]]<ref>{{Cite web |last=Ossai |first=Chukwunwike |date=2025-05-01 |title=Ugbo: A Living Archive of Ancient Igbo Civilization and Cultural Resilience in Enugu State |url=https://ozikoro.com/ugbo-a-living-archive-of-ancient-igbo-civilization-and-cultural-resilience-in-enugu-state/ |access-date=2025-06-13 |website=Ozi Ikòrò |language=en-US}}</ref>, and [[Ngene Ugbo]]<ref>{{Cite web |last=Ossai |first=Chukwunwike |date=2025-05-01 |title=Ugbo: A Living Archive of Ancient Igbo Civilization and Cultural Resilience in Enugu State |url=https://ozikoro.com/ugbo-a-living-archive-of-ancient-igbo-civilization-and-cultural-resilience-in-enugu-state/ |access-date=2025-06-13 |website=Ozi Ikòrò |language=en-US}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web |title=Ngene Ugbo-Ogbazu Road |url=https://eyemark.ng/project/workshoptraining-for-some-selected-jss1-jss3-students-within-greater-agwu-on-cultural-orientation-ergp202201677 |access-date=2025-06-13 |website=Eyemark |language=en}}</ref>.

The common Christian celebrations are the Christmas and Easter, marked every year for the birth of Jesus Christ and his ascension to heaven, respectively.

== Education ==
The town has two secondary schools: [[Community Secondary School Ugbo-Okpala]], and [[Community Secondary School, Ugbo]], a campus of the
[[Federal College of Fisheries and Marine Technology]];in addition to [[Police Secondary School, Ugbo]] currently under construction by the [[Federal Government of Nigeria]].

Ugbo is also endowed with abundant but untapped natural resources, including stones, clay, iron, fertile land, and traces of coal and gas deposits. The agricultural mainstay of the town includes yam, cocoyam, and cassava cultivation. The Ugbo cocoyam (Ede ndi Ugbo) is the choice of buyers who travel from all parts of Southern Nigeria to the central market, Nkwo Ugbo, where sellers from the three autonomous communities converge after every four market days. Ugbo is blessed with abundant natural resources, such as fertile lands, sand and gravel, clay, stones, coal, crude oil, diamond, kaolin, and forestry resources. The town is the headquarters of the [[Umueben Evergreen Multi-Purpose Cooperative Society LTD]], which helps to enhance the town's economic activities.
