Wag
Wag is a highland district in the Amhara Region of Ethiopia, in the approximate location of the modern Wag Hemra Zone. The district seat is the town of Sokota, which has been a major market center for centuries.
Wag was given to the heirs of the deposed Zagwe dynasty, when the Solomonic dynasty was restored to the throne of Ethiopia in 1270. The head of the fallen Zagwe family accepted the district as well as the title of Wagshum as part of the settlement for their loss.
