List of 12 Oldest Buildings in Eldoret Town

Eldoret town has a rich history – from its origin, naming and how it came into existence.

For starters, Eldoret is a name derived from a Maasai word ‘Eldare’ which means ‘stony river’ in reference to the bed of the Sosiani River that runs through the town.

Originally, the town was to be named ‘Eldaret’ but a spelling error led to it being named ‘Eldoret’ and the name stood up to date – as nobody bothered to fix the error.

Eldoret town, which is today the headquarters of Uasin Gishu County was established in the midst of farms that were established by 58 families of Afrikaners who had been displaced from South Africa.

The families had travelled to Mombasa, Kenya, by sea, then used rail to travel to Nakuru before finally finishing up their journey to Uasin Gishu using wagons that would often get stuck in the mud – they arrived at Sergoit Hill (now Sergoit Golf and Wildlife resort) in October 1908.
