The beautiful eastern town of Dire Dawa was founded in 1902 when it became impossible to lay the Ethio-Djibouti railway line via Harar because of the steep access to the town.

As the railway project progressed, the town also developed, attracting a diverse population of Greeks, Armenians, and Arabs who opened hotels and shops. This once great imperial railway company, during its early operations, provided landlocked Ethiopia access to the sea via Djibouti. Currently, the old railway line only operates between Dire Dawa & Dewele, a border town between Ethiopia and Djibouti.
