In the early 1890s, Wala was largely west of the Kulpawn River. Its western boundary was the Black Volta. The north-east corner of the territory was at Dasima, and the south-west corner was at Tantama. Kulmasa marked its southern boundary.
In 1894, there was a rebellion in the northern part of the Kingdom of Wala, and this area separated off into an independent kingdom.
