NAKURU. 



HPHE important township of Nakuru, overlooking 

 -*- the Lake of that name, is situate on the Uganda 

 Railway 447 miles from the Coast, at an altitude of 

 6,000 feet. Unlike Nairobi, which stands on the 

 fringe of the Highland Zone, Nakuru is in the heart 

 of the Highlands. If the town be taken as the centre 

 of a circle having a radius of 120 miles, it will be 

 seen that practically the whole of the Highlands are 

 comprised in its sweep. The town is well situated 

 amidst lovely surroundings, and possesses all the 

 natural advantages of a large commercial centre. 



Nakuru is the livestock centre of East Africa, 

 and its annual Show, held under the auspices of the 

 Pastoralists' Association, is the premier Agricultural 

 Show of the Protectorate. The spacious Stock Yards 

 of Newland, Tarlton & Co., Ltd., are situated on the 

 outskirts. The B.E.A. Maize Growers' As ociation 

 has its headquarters in the town, the Lower Molo and 

 Solai districts being at present the principal maize 

 growing centres. 



The town to-day has a post-office, two banks, a 

 school, hotel, club, an engineering shop and garage, 

 and several good stores. When the Nakuru-Mumias 

 Railway and the main road to the vast Laikipia stock 

 country are constructed, the rapid development of 

 Nakuru will be assured.
