Murang'a is a town in Murang'a County of Kenya. It is the administrative headquarters of Murang'a County and is mainly inhabited by the Kikuyu community. Before the Kenyan independence in 1963, the town was known as Fort Hall. Fort Hall was originally a British colonial trading post and administrative centre established in the early 1900s during the colonial period in Kenya. It was named after a British colonial administrator Francis George Hall. The fort served as a strategic military and administrative hub in the region. Over time, the settlement around the fort grew into a town. After independence, Fort Hall was renamed Murang'a to reflect local heritage and a move away from colonial names. The area played a significant role in Kenya’s struggle for independence, being part of the Central Kenya region where the Mau Mau uprising was strong. Read more on Wikipedia
