Ijebu-Jesa traces its founding to Agigiri, held in local tradition to be the senior brother of the Owa Obokun of Ilesa. Ibadan sacked the town in the mid-19th century during its wars in Ijesaland. The Elegboro stool was filled in 2017 after a disputed succession. The town has a grammar school founded in 1955 and a private polytechnic.
