This paper discusses the signifi cance of toponymy in historical and archaeologicalreconstructions especially as it relates to the culture history of Yorubaland. Drawing casestudies from two extreme areas of the region; Igbominaland and Badagry coastal area, it isobserved that toponymy provides useful information which is relevant as sources for manyaspects of the culture history and archaeology of the region. It is concluded that, even thoughthe hints provided by toponymy are of very high reliability, they however need to be corroboratedby oral, historical, and archaeological sources.
