Eldoret is the fifth largest city in Kenya. In the Rift Valley region, it serves as the capital of Uasin Gishu County. The town was referred to by white settlers as Farm 64 and colloquially by locals as 'Sisibo'.[2] As per the 2019 Kenya Population and Housing Census,[3] Eldoret is the fifth most populated urban area in the country after Nairobi, Mombasa, Nakuru and Ruiru.[4] Lying south of the Cherangani Hills, the local elevation varies from about 2,100 metres (6,900 ft) at the airport to more than 2,700 metres (8,900 ft) in nearby areas. The population was 289,380 in the 2009 Census,[1][5] and it was the fastest growing city in Kenya with 475,716 people according to 2019 National Census. Eldoret was on course to be named Kenya's fourth city,[6] but was edged out by Nakuru in 2021.[7]
