Vihiga District was an administrative district in the Western Province of Kenya. Its capital town was Mbale. The district had a population of 498,883 (1999 census) and an area of 563 km2.[1] Vihiga District was split from Kakamega District in 1990.[2] By the 2009, Vihiga itself had been split into three smaller districts of Vihiga, Emuhaya, and Hamisi. All with a combined population of 554,622; the smaller Vihiga District with a population of 221,294.[3]
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 Vihiga County.
