Nyeri Town, situated approximately 150 kilometres north of Nairobi, serves as the administrative headquarters of Nyeri County. Historically, the town emerged during the colonial era as a British administrative post, gradually expanding to accommodate settlers, missionaries, and traders. Its evolution into a regional hub has been shaped by both historical functions and the surrounding natural systems.
