Its capital city is Dutse. The state was created on 27th August, 1991, when the Federal Military Government under General Ibrahim Babangida announced the creation of nine additional states in the country bringing the total number of states then to thirty. The announcement was given a legal backing through the; State Creation and Transitional Provisions Decree No. 37 of 1991.

The state is mainly populated by the Hausa, Fulani and the Mangawa. The predominant religion of the people is Islam. Kano and Katsina States border Jigawa to the west, Bauchi State to the east and Yobe State to the northeast.
