The people of Gadara were an ancient Greek city located in the region of the Decapolis, near the Sea of Galilee in present-day Jordan. Historically, Gadara was known for its Hellenistic culture, philosophy, and as a center of trade. The city is mentioned in the New Testament, particularly in the context of Jesus healing a man possessed by demons, where the demons were sent into a herd of pigs. The inhabitants were predominantly Gentile, reflecting the city's cultural blend of Greek and local influences.
