Yinyin was founded within the Asitasi Grand Lodge at the beginning of the 12th century during the Kuxwéi Era. According to legend, Wou Záai, a well-known scholar and Naa Sàati from the Asitasi, ordered the creation of several canals and ponds using the nearby river delta to help facilitate water-based trade in the town, giving it the nickname Yinyin (lit. “Many Canals”). Following the expansion of the Yevak, the town came under Yevak rule in 1257 CE. |
