Trans-Nzoia District
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Trans-Nzoia District is an administrative district of Rift Valley Province, Kenya.
It is located between the Nzoia River and Mount Elgon and its centre is the town of Kitale.
Historically the area has been inhabited by the Kalenjin people. After independence many of the farms vacated by white settlers were bought by individuals from other ethnic groups in Kenya.
The district has three constituencies: Kwanza, Saboti and Cherangani.
