==History==
Oron was one of the major states in the old Calabar Kingdom. Oron people share the same ancestors as the [[Annang]], [[Efik]], [[Eket]], [[Ibibio]] and other groups in Akwa Ibom States and Cross River State of Nigeria.
As their brothers and sisters in the present Akwa Ibom State and Cross River State of Nigeria, Oron people have lived at their territory thousands of years before Christ. History also has it that Oron people as well as their brothers and sisters in the present Akwa Ibom State and Cross River State of Nigeria migrated from Egypt through Ethiopia and Sudan into their present territory via Ghana and Cameroon. Their ancestors from Egypt were Jews from mixed marriage of Israelites and Egyptians. It is to be noted that "Oron" is a Jewish word, and industrial town in Israel and a name that is used by people of Israel.
==Modern Oron==
In present day Nigeria, Oron is a local government area in the present day Akwa Ibom States of Nigeris.
