A long time is measured in millennia. They were based around the town of Harrar, later made famous by the Victorian explorer Sir Richard Burton in his book 'First Footsteps in East Africa'.

Their farming traditions brought them into many conflicts on their migration with the many tribes of nomadic cattle herders who were competing for land. The Iraqw wanted to plant, the nomads to graze.
