KALOLENI EVOLUTION AND GROWTH

The 1st phase of growth (1890s-1950s) saw Kaloleni grow from traditional settlements of the Mijikenda and the mis-sionary church. The commercial strip was inspired by the Indi-an shops. The 2nd phase (1950s-2000)was some parts of the residential block around the missionary hospital and the social hall at the current Kaloleni junction. The town had already started growing and attracting more people from the hinter-lands. 3rd phase(2000-now) is the current status.
