Migori District information


Migori District was an administrative district in the Nyanza Province of Kenya. It is located in southwestern Kenya. Its capital town was Migori. The district has a population of 514,897 and an area of 2,005 km2.[1]

In 1992, the district was created after South Nyanza District was split to create an additional district of Migori. The remaining South Nyanza District was later renamed to Homa Bay.[2][3] Along with the nationwide creation of new districts in 2007, Migori District has been split into two districts: Rongo (North) and Migori (South) districts. The headquarters of Migori District remain in Migori, but those of Rongo District moved to Rongo town. The split occurred between Suba and Uriri Division. However, in 2009 the new districts were declared unlawful.

In 2010, after the promulgation of the new constitution of Kenya, counties were to be created based on the districts of Kenya as at 1992. This effectively led to the creation of Migori County.
