Eldoret town officially started in 1910 following the
establishment of a post office at what was then known as ‘Sisibo’ or 64.
Two years later, the colonial government decided to establish an administrative centre in the
thus the Post Office was renamed from "64" to a new official town
name – Eldoret. Becoming an
administrative centre caused an enormous increase in trade within the prospective
city. A bank and several shops were built.

Today, Eldoret is the fifth
most populated urban area in the country after Nairobi, Mombasa, Nakuru and Ruiru. It is also currently the fastest growing town in Kenya with
475,716 people, according to 2019 National Census.
Eldoret’s fast growth has seen it witness a rise in the number of residential estates, with some even going past the municipality.
It is this growth and push
for a city status that informed the need to expand the Eldoret Municipality
boundaries up to the Eldoret International Airport.
