Gbede comprises of 11 villages (some already extinct). Some are presently existing in their original settlement while a few numbers migrated from their initial settlement decades and some up to a century ago.
Iya Gbede migrated from an old settlement called Iyà Loké to their present location to gain access to basic amenities such as road and portable water supply.
Ayegunle Gbede is another example of a Gbede town with nine villages coming together to form a settlement. These villages; Agóh, Agbara, Okeleti, Iluesho, Akure, Esseh, Eguru, Igah, and Ofede, were Independently existing at their various locations distance apart before the conception of Ohi-Oná or Ohono (Ayegunle).
In 1927, these nine villages came together to build roads, and drainages in the present site, followed by the allocation of lands to the uniting villages. Ágbàrá was initially meant to follow Iyah Gbede due to the proximity they enjoyed when the two communities were neighbors at old Iyá Loké and Àpáto. Ágbàrá however migrated to their present location despite the fact that they share religion differences with most communities they moved in with.
They finally settled in their present location in 1928 and remains the second largest Gbede community with five access roads and boarders with nine neighboring communities.
