Kampala is the capital of Uganda and the nation’s administrative, economic, and political center. Although Kampala’s history dates back to the late nineteenth century, when the city served as a key outpost of the British imperial presence in Africa, it was not declared Uganda’s capital until 1962. Both Kampala’s physical infrastructure and its social fabric suffered severe damage during the brutal dictatorships and guerrilla warfare that terrorized the nation from 1971 through 1985. Kampala continues to struggle with many of the problems common to urban areas in the developing world. In the late twentieth and early twenty-first centuries, however, it has rebounded to the point where Kampala now enjoys a reputation as one of southern Africa’s safest and most politically stable cities.
