History
The town of Suntu was renamed Limmu Genet by Dejazmach Mesfin Sileshi when he was governor of the province. A coffee washing center was established in the late 1950s, and in its first regular working season (1956/57) processed 300 tons, which yielded about 75 tons of cleaned coffee beans.
In 1962, a trail connecting Genet to Welkite was passable by trucks in the dry season. An all-weather road south to Jimma was built in 1966 by the Highway Authority.
