#citystatus #Kenya
#Eldoret, the capital of #UasinGishu County, is poised to become #Kenya'sfifthcity, joining #Nairobi, #Mombasa, #Kisumu, and #Nakuru. Founded in 1908 as a trading center by #SouthAfrican Afrikaners (Boers), it was initially called #Farm64 and is locally known as Sisibo. The town flourished due to its fertile land, making it a hub for agriculture, particularly in maize, wheat, tea, and dairy farming. Over the years, Eldoret expanded with improved infrastructure and became a significant commercial and #agriculturalcenter.
Post-independence, Eldoret continued to grow, benefiting from its strategic location on key transportation routes. Its economy has diversified to include manufacturing, education, healthcare, and logistics, with significant contributions from industries like agricultural processing, textiles, and pharmaceuticals. Notable facilities include #MoiUniversity and the #KenyaOrdnanceFactoriesCorporation.
Eldoret is also renowned for producing world-class athletes and houses the #IAAF High Altitude Training Center. The town is served by #EldoretInternationalAirport and Eldoret Airstrip, enhancing its connectivity.
To achieve city status under the #UrbanAreasandCitiesAct,2011, Eldoret must meet criteria such as a minimum population of 250,000, robust economic activity, developed infrastructure, and an effective administrative structure. The formal process involves an application and evaluation, followed by government approval
