imported from Mekelle. The livestock of the people living in the tabia usely grazes in the Afar lowlands. Administrative divisions With an area of approximately 139 square kilometers, Dergajen used to be a district of the Enderta province already in Imperial times. In those times, Qwiha functioned as administrative center for the district Dergajen, while Mekelle was the capital of the Enderta province. Nowadays, the administrative divisions have changed. The Enderta province became obsolete and the Enderta name only denotes the former core area of the province, the actual Enderta woreda. As the former center, Mekelle, was carved out of this district and given its proper Special Zone, Qwiha became the center of the remaining Enderta district. Just as with Enderta, Dergajen is not a district (or woreda) anymore, but just a municipality (although one of the largest of the Enderta district). References Populated places in the Tigray Region
