History

It is the largest settlement on the Djiboutian border with Eritrea. When France and Italy first set the boundary between Italian Eritrea and French Somaliland, Dadda`to was used as a term of reference for the latitude at which the horizontal boundary was placed. The Djibouti–Eritrea boundary has since been changed, but Dadda`to remains on the frontier.
