Your guess is right, Kano came up the most.

“ ON KANO

How many of those whose knowledge of geography is by no means below the average would nevertheless find a difficulty in giving an immediate answer if asked to say in which of the five continents the city of Kano was situated! And yet London is probably not more generally known throughout the continent of Europe than is Kano throughout an equal area in the Central Soudan.

It would be difficult to find an inhabitant
of even an obscure village, within several hundred miles of Kano, who could not tell you something of this great commercial capital of Hausaland, and who, if he had not been there himself, had not at least conversed with traders who had come from it…Image
… The market of Kano is the most important in the whole of tropical Africa, and its manufactures are to be met with from the Gulf of Guines on the south to the Mediterranean on the north, and from the Atlantic on the west to the Nile, or even the Red Sea, on the east.
The stranger, who in conversation with a native expresses an interest in any town or place at which he may be staying in the Central Soudan, is constantly liable to be interrupted by the remark, "You have not yet seen Kano." Just as in London we might hope to come across any English friend whom we had for years lost sight of and whose whereabouts were unknown, so to Kano one would naturally go in order to find any native of the Central Soudan of whose movements all definite trace had been lost….
.. It is the great meeting-point, not only for Hausas but for other races far and near.
Monteuil gives it as his opinion that no less than two million people pass through the city in the course of each year. The Tuarek of the desert comes in touch here with the natives of Adamawa and the south; the Arab merchant meets here with traders from Lake chad, on the one side, and the Niger or even the Atlantic sea-board, on the other. Here, too, are to be found Muslim pilgrims from far and near on their way to or from Mecca…
The importance of the town is due, first, to the native industries which it contains; and secondly, to the trade which is centred here largely in consequence of the existence of these industries. They consist chiefly of the weaving of cloth from native-grown cotton, and in the making and dyeing of various articles of clothing therefrom. It would be well within the mark to say that Kano clothes more than half the population of the Central Soudan, and any European traveller who will take the trouble to ask for it, will find no difficulty in purchasing Kano-made cloth at towns on the coast as widely separated from one another as Alexandria, Tripoli, Tunis or Lagos. The cloth is woven on narrow looms, the separate strips being never more than four inches in width. These are sewn together so neatly that no join could be detected except by very careful investigation.”

Kano itself was later named after the great ancestor of the Abagayawa (a smither), Dala (named after the great hunter and the grandfather of Barbushe). Wards or settlements established during the period of Maguzawa were merely restricted to the Dala area and its vicinity such as Jakara, Gwauron Dutse, Kukar Tube, Darmanawa and Madatai apart from the already mentioned rocky areas.

Wards established, probably during the early period of the Bagaudawa dynasty include Kutumbawa, Rimin Kira, Adakawa, Mazugal, Karofin Gangamau, Garke, Tuma, Kabuwaya, Karofin Kangiwa, Shatsari, Aikawa, Makwalla, Gangamau and Gwangwazo.Image
The Jukunawa (Kwararrafa people) founded the wards of Yakasai, Sagagi and Kofar Mata in the 7th century while the Katsinawa in the 18th and 19th centuries founded the wards of Kulkul (named after their leader Abdullahi Qul-Qul), Warure and Darmà.

Wards which were named after a famous person included Durumin Aje, Sharfadi, Durumin Iya, Durumin Zungura, Kabara (formerly Jarkasa), Tudun Wada, Malladan, Malam Ganari, Satatima. Juma, Shetima and Dandago. This also indicates the ethnic origins of their inhabitants.
Wards named after a landmark or the topography of the area are Bakin Ruwa, Mararraba, Mai Aduwa, Rijiya Biyu, Rijiya Hudu, Cediyar Fero, Kwarin Mabuga, Kurna, Makwarari, Cediyar Kuda, Kan Tudu, Sarari, Marmara, Zage, Yar Kasuwa, Magoga, Diso, Dausayi (now Gyaranya, Jarkasa (now Kabara) and Yalwa. Wards named after a tribal group include Hausawa, Madigawa, Garangamawa, Ciromawa, Aikawa, Daurawa, Kabawa and Sanka.

In keeping with the influence of Kano as a learning center, the Khalifa Isyaku Rabiu University; one of the few Qur’anic Universities in the world is commencing academic activities, and in that way solidifying the foundation laid by the Madabo University founded in 1350 in Kano.
Image
Image
In 1350, the 1st & 2nd wave of Wangara clerics who founded Madabo University in Kano named faculties after their Sheikhs thus, we have neighborhoods in present-day Kano named Kabara from Sheikh Kabara, Mandawari from Mandaghri, Sheshe from Shayshe & Zaitawa from Sheikh Zait.
This way, Kano evolved as a learning center that retained to this day, a huge network of Tsangaya (Qur’ānic schooling networks) and Islamiyya (modern Islamic education) schools, on a larger scale than any Emirate in Northern Nigeria.

Lt. Hugh Clapperton and his men came to Kano in 1824. When he reached Kano at the time, he was disappointed because not an individual turn his head to gaze at him, but the Kanawa were busy with their businesses and allow him to passed without notice or remark. Image
Clapperton reached Kano, a large walled town with a population of 40,000 people. He was impressed by its size and importance as a trading center, with teeming markets selling produce from all over Africa.
Clapperton now found himself not among gaping pagan people but an indifferent, self-sufficient and highly sophisticated people with their civilisation and religion. In Kano, he met travelers from as far away as Constantinople, Jerusalem, and Mecca.
