What you need to know:

  • For residents like Sammy King’ori, who have witnessed the passage of time within its confines, Ndaragwa's story is one of unfulfilled promise. 
  • Mr Peter Kagwe, the area MCA also grew up in this small town, says its growth has stagnated in the 40 years he has known it.


Ndaragwa town in Nyandarua County, established during the colonial era in 1955, stands as a testament to Kenya's historical roots.

However, despite its rich history and heritage, the town finds itself at a crossroad.
