During this p eriod the town de veloped cons ide rably and became one of the major towns of Mocha dis trict under the former fllubabor Provintial administration. The main factors that led Teppi to become center of the area were the abundance of invaluable resources in and around Teppi and the de velopment of commerce in the region. Howe ver, a remarkable growth of the town was witnessed during the pos t liberation p eriod. This was due to the establishment of the means of transport, communication, the emigration of p eople to the town and their engagement in diffe rent activates. Particularly, coffee had a significant role for the rapid growth of its market and the development of the town. Since the reign of Emperor Haile Sellas se, the creation of many great coffee plantation farms around Teppi and the rural kebles by the feudal lords contributed to the growth of the town. Later on, under the Darg regime also the establishment of coffee plantation projects in the area highly enhanced growth and d e velopment of the Teppi. The refore, the availability of crop production, the de velopment of comme rce, the d ifferent national programs, the topographic s ettings of the town as we ll as its suitable environment for settlement in general played a vital role for the development of Teppi town.enHistory of Teppi 1991Thesis
