Formerly known as Bukedi, Tororo District is one
of the districts that already existed in 1962 at Independence. Bukedi District
came into being in 1967 when the then new Constitution was formulated. Its
Headquarters was changed from Mbale to Tororo and became operational in 1968.
The district then comprised of six Countries; namely, West Budama, Pallisa,
Budaka-Bugwere, Bunyole, Tororo and Samia Bugwe. During Amin`s time, its name
was changed to Tororo District, still with the same Counties. Following the
Decentralization Policy that came into effect in the 1990s, Pallisa County
broke off to become Pallisa District, which engulfed Budaka-Bugwere as one of
its counties. In 1997, Samia Bugwe broke off to become Busia District. In 2006,
Bunyole County broke off to become Butaleja District. Presently, Tororo
District consists of West Budama and Tororo Counties. Tororo borders the
districts of Pallisa in the north, Mbale in the north-east, Iganga in the west,
Bugiri in the south and the republic of Kenya in the East.
