Owo is situated halfway between the Nigerian towns of Ife and Benin in southern Nigeria, and so it is not surprising that Owo art displays characteristics of both traditions.
Benin in the 15th century was expanding its influence to both the east and west and must have affected Owo.
Owo claims that it was never conquered by Benin, but there are many elements of Owo culture clearly borrowed from Benin, such as chieftaincy titles and the royal regalia and crowns.

Blog It Hell was let loose on Thursday in the ancient city of Owo, Ondo State as irate youths and commercial bus drivers engaged policemen in a free for all fight, following the brutal killing of a driver by a policeman over N20 bribe.
When news of the brutal killings spread to Owo, Ojuade’s hometown, his friends, relations and colleagues went on the rampage, mobilizing students and commercial drivers to police stations in the town.
Bodunde, who led other officers to Owo town on behalf of the commissioner of police, appealed to the youths to calm down, saying the accused policeman has been arrested and detained and would soon be prosecuted in the court.

While the states of Owo and Ijebu were composed primarily of Yoruba peoples, the core populations of the Benin kingdom were ethnically Edo.
Owo, Benin's neighbor to the northwest, appears to have intermittently found itself under the suzerainty of the obas.
Given the Edo origins of many aspects of Owo's courtly culture, it is clear that the diplomatic relationship between the two kingdoms was intimate, and not entirely equitable: royal Edo histories speak of Osogboye, the sixteenth-century ruler of Owo who visited the Benin court to adopt highly prestigious forms of Edo courtly culture.

Although similar to their Edo counterparts in form and function, they differ in the material from which they were made: ivory, rather than brass, was the favored material of Owo rulers at this time.

 Journeys to Owo and Benin City
The King was at court, just the way yesterday's Owo kings did with their subjects, and savouring the sweet aroma of the homage they paid him and listening to griots sing his praises.
That Palace where that ceremony took place is as old as the Owo town itself and the vehicles used by the predecessors of the present Olowo are still parked in front of the Palace.
What it is that gives you an idea that these towns, Owo and Benin City, are ancient towns is in the roofs of most of the buildings in the towns: they wear a dark-brown texture that almost blends with the chocolate-brown of the earth.
