History
The local government area takes its name from the Otin River, which traverses it. Odo-Otin North and Odo-Otin South Local Council Development Areas were later created out of the Odo Otin area council for administrative convenience, better development planning and to bring government closer to the grassroots. These LCDAs are created by the Government of Osun State and are responsible for funding the council, and are headed by a chairman, vice chairman and other executive and legislative branches. The current chairmen of the LCDAs are Adekeye Adebayo Iyiola (Odo-Otin North) and Prince Akinloye Aliyu Oluwole (Odo-Otin South).
