On this day in 2021, Nakuru officially etched its name into the archives of Kenya’s history by becoming the country’s fourth city. In a landmark ceremony at the refurbished Nyayo Gardens, former President Uhuru Kenyatta handed over the City Charter, elevating the “home of the flamingos” to join the ranks of Nairobi, Mombasa, and Kisumu.

Today, we celebrate Nakuru City’s vibrant culture, economic resilience, and its journey from a colonial railway outpost to a thriving metropolitan hub.
