The town is centre at least 1969-1980 of Haykoch & Butajira awraja. The people of the islands of Ziway seem to have been Christians from very early times and although they had no priests still preserved their churches and their ornaments The small province of Wäj was situated around lake Zway in the 1500s. The lake Ziway area was one of the about fifteen most important cotton production areas in Ethiopia (except Eritrea) in the 1950s. Ziway was possibly the fastest growing provincial town in Ethiopia in the early 1990s. About 300 OLF soldiers who had been taken prisoners in early 1999 were kept at Ziway. Today, only three of Ziway's islands are occupied, and most Zay people only visit them for religious ceremonies. But Debre Zion on Tullo Guddo remains an active monastery. Although very shallow, with a maximum depth of about 3.5 metres, the lake covers a sizeable area of about 432 square kms. The town of Ziway is home to an important fishery centre as well as some horticultural gardens, which export fruit and vegetables. Storm and heavy rainfall wrecked parts of the town in November 2008.
