It has a latitude and longitude of 13°08′N 37°54′E and an elevation of 2850 meters above sea degree. Debarq's prosperity become because of its area on the Gondar-Massawa exchange direction; it's miles one of the stations on a direction of the 1840s, according to a listing compiled via Antoine Thomson d'Abbadie in his Geodesie d'Ethiopie.

Richard Pankhurst notess that by way of the early 19th century its marketplace became essential enough to be one among six in Ethiopia requiring a nagadras to supervise it and acquire the expenses. The revenue from taxes levied on the marketplace in the 1830s paid the governor of Semien province 3,000 Maria Theresa Thalers and about as a whole lot to the nagadras. During a conflict with his rebellious nephews, Emperor Tewodros saw his near friend and advisor John Bell killed in warfare here in 1860. Although his nephews had been killed within the skirmish, and their 1700 followers straight away surrendered, he exacted vengeance the following day by using beheading all in their men.
