Agulu is the biggest town in Aniocha Local Government area (county) and Anambra state. In terms of square miles, number of villages (20) and population it is one of the biggest towns east of the Niger River. It occupies an area of about 49 sq. miles in the South East of Awka (the state capital) and lies within the state capital teritory.   The neighbors of Agulu to the North are Nnanka and Agulu Uz’igbo, to the East are Ogbu and Mbaukwu, to the South are Nise. and Agu Ukwu (Nri) and to the West Adazi Nnukwu and Obeledu.  In the extreme. North west of Agulu lies the largest lake in Anambra State.   This lake is deified because of its mysterious origin and vast area which is roughly esstimated to cover 200 acres and about a mile long.  That the lake empties itself into the River Niger through Idemili stream of Obosi is still open to further investigations.  Erosion, a menancing feature of the town, takes its root in the south eastern part of Agulu.  Like the lake, many superstitious beliefs are associated with the erosion.  Its origin is unknown.  These two important features - Lake and erosion, not only attract rnany tourists but also pose many quest ions on the people which only native religion can answer.  Like the rest of the Igbo, whenever an inexplicable phenonenon is encountered  it will be attributed to an Unseen Power who is believed to be the author of all things.
