Place in Abia State, Nigeria

Uzuakoli is an area in Abia State of Eastern Nigeria that includes several villages. It has been home to a Methodist College, a large market, clandestine slave trading, a leprosy settlement, Ila Oso Festival, and conflict. One of the first Methodist missionaries there was Bernard Batty, whose sons attended Elmfield College in York. The community is in the Igbo "heartland".

The University of California has a photograph of Methodist missionaries in Uzuakoli in 1924.

In 1964, students of Methodist College of Uzuakoli wrote a short history of the area.

Other photos of area residents are in archives.
