Kenya - History
Written records and archeological evidence are the two
primary sources of historical information about Kenya. The
written records focus on the coastal region primarily because
of its rich history of trade with the southern Arab nations. The
Kenyan interior, however, remained mostly undocumented
prior to the 19th century. [eng]

Kenya - HISTORY
In 1893 Uganda became a British protectorate closely followed by Kenya - 1895. The British were just interested in controlling the rich resources of Uganda and to
facilitate this they built a railway between Mombasa and Kampala using labourers from India, many of whom remained and have become todays merchant class. [eng]

History of Kenya
Cushitic-speaking people from northern Africa moved into the area that is now Kenya beginning
around 2000 BC. Arab traders began frequenting the Kenya coast around the first century A.D.
Kenya's proximity to the Arabian Peninsula invited colonization, and Arab and Persian
settlements sprouted along the coast by the eighth century. [eng]
