Ekiti East Local Government was created under the Local Government Edict of 1979. This took place as a result of the creation of Ondo – state which has it’s headquarter at Ibadan under the administration of the late Head of State Gen. Murtala Ramat Muhammed. At its creation, the old Gbonyin District Council which has it’s headquarter at Aisegba-Ekiti and part of the then Ekiti North Division were carved to from Ekiti east Local Government with it’s headquarter located at Omuo-Ekiti.
However, with the creation of more Local Government in 1996 as a result of the creation of Ekiti state by late Gen. Sanni Abacha, Gbonyin Local Government has been carved out of Ekiti East Local Government.
