A book published in 1951 states that the clans that was grazing livestock in Yagori were Yesif, Adan Madoba, Idleh Farah of Habr Je'lo, and Yahia, Ahmed Gerad, Jama Siad, and rer Elmi of Dhulbahante.[19]

The adjacent Afbakayle locals were raided by Eric Swayne and these were said to be Jama Siad livestock in 1901:[18]

Hearings from prisoners that some encampments of the Jama Siad section of the Mahmud Gerad tribe were some 50 miles off, near Mayo, on the left of the line of advance to Yahelli, Swayne seized the opportunity and sent off the mounted corps under Major Beynon to surprise them ... at Samala on arrival at May 30th, when news was brought in that the mounted corps had succeeded in surprising the Jama Siad sections of the Mahmud Gerad and capturing some stock

— British War Office

The city is now primarily inhabited by the Jama Siad sub-clan, with the Reer Warsame well represented, as well as the Elmi Naleye "Reer Cilmi" sub-lineage of the Naleye Ahmed.[20]

Yagori was during the colonial era a part of Nogal District, described by John Hunt as an "entirely Dolbahanta" district.[21]
