Boditi
As of 2006 permanent postal service is available, as well as electricity and telephone service, more colleges and higher educational institutions are currently being developed as the number of school-aged children increases. The map attached to C. W. Gwynn's account of his 1908/09 triangulation survey of southern Ethiopia shows Boditi, with the note that it had a market. During the early 1930s, the market was held on Tuesdays and was very important. In 1969, a group of Swedish architectural students surveyed Boditi, and presented their findings to the University of Lund.
