About Us...
History:
Nyando was created in 1966 after the larger Nyando (c/no 100) was split
into Nyando (c/no143) and Nyakach (c/no 144). In 1987 the former
absorbed part of Winam (c/no142) and part of it was hived off to form
Muhoroni*c/no168) while the remaing part became Nyando(c/no187). It
became c/no 187 in 1996.
Nyando district is a new district in Kenya which broke away from Kisumu District in Nyanza Province in 1998. Its capital is in a small town called Awasi 30 kilometres east of Kisumu. Nyando District’s largest urban centre is Ahero, located 24 kilometers from Kisumu City. Nyando district borders the Rift Valley Province. The district is named after the Nyando River.
