Hobyo (Somali: Hobyo, also known as Obbia in Italian), is an ancient port city in Galmudug state in the north-central Mudug region of Somalia.
Hobyo was founded as a coastal outpost by the Ajuran Empire during the 13th century. In the late 17th century the Hawiye successfully revolted against the Ajuran Sultanate who had been ruling Hobyo since the 13th century and established an independent Hawiye Imamate. According to Bernhard Helander of Uppsala University, "the Imam of Hawiye is a hereditary position that traditionally is held by a person of the first-born branch."
