Nandi District information


Nandi District was an administrative district in the Rift Valley Province of Kenya. Its capital town was Kapsabet.[1]

Following the transfer of some of territory from Uganda to British East Africa, Nandi District was a subdivision of Kisumu Province. In 1929, it was when it was transferred to the newly-created Nzoia Province. In 1934, the district was transferred to Rift Valley Province after the latter absorbed Nzoia Province.[2] In 1963, Nandi District was one of the forty districts of Kenya.[3]

In 2005, Nandi District was eliminated after it was split to form Nandi North and Nandi South, and later Nandi Central, Nandi East and Tindret. All the four districts had a combined population of 752,965.[4]

As per the new law new counties were to be created based on the districts of Kenya that existed as at 1992. This effectively led to the creation of Nandi County.[citation needed]

The topography of the former district is dominated by the Nandi Hills. The local people are mostly of the Nandi tribe.[citation needed]
