The Benin Kingdom was founded by Eweka 1, son of the Yoruba prince Oranmiyan, who was sent by his father to rule the kingdom.

Oranmiyan’s attempts to rule the kingdom failed, and he left, calling the land Ile Ibinu, which means land of anger or vexation.

Eweka 1 became the first Oba of Benin.
The most powerful king was Oba Ewuare the Great, who built massive walls around the kingdom and inspired dedication and loyalty in his subjects.

The Benin Kingdom was famous for its artwork, which was seized by colonialists. The people of Benin were powerful traders involved in different trading activities, including the slave trade.
In the 18th and 19th centuries, the kingdom was weakened by civil wars among the people. At the same time, the British colonialists attempted to invade the Benin Kingdom and make it part of their colony.
The British succeeded in 1897, burning down Benin City and expelling Oba Ovonramwem. His son Aiguobasin Ovonramwem later worked with the colonial government as a chief from 1902.

Kingdom of Benin - World History Encyclopedia

The Benin people are the best bronze casters in the world. This is believed to be one of the greatest defining characteristics of the historic Kingdom of Benin. Established in the 14th century by Oba Oguola, the tradition of the casting profession remains a very preserved tradition only practiced by the Igun clan of casters by the official approval of the Oba.

He was able to rebuild the kingdom, set up art guilds, and commission new artwork in place of the ones stolen.

Despite the British invasion, the Benin monarchy still exists today as one of the most flourishing and long-standing monarchies in the world.
