Anaocha Local Government Area is one of the twenty one Local Government Areas in Anambra State of Nigeria. Geographically, it is bounded in the North by Awka South Local Government Area, in the East by Aguata Local Government Area and in the West by Njikoka Local Government Area. It has a landmass of 171.62 square km with a population of 199,093 (according to the 1991 census) and falls within the tropical climate and vegetation. It is potentially habitable.
Anaocha Local Government Area was a part of Njikoka Administrative Area whose existence dated as far back as 1957 known then as Niger County Council and later changed to Njikoka County Council. However, during the Local Government reforms of 1976, it became known and called Njikoka Local Government Council. It is germane to point out that with the Local Government Reforms of 1976, many groups of people that share the same homogenous socio-cultural affinities desired and indeed demanded to be identified and given a Local Government of their own. Among these group were the people of Anaocha Local Government Area which was created in 1983 by Chief Jim Nwobodo, the then Executive Governor of Anambra State. It comprises of Agulu, Aguluzigbo, Adazi-Ani, Adazi Enu-, Adazi Nnukwu, Akwaeze, Ichida, Neni, Obeledu and Nri.
