Counties of Uganda

This table lists the counties as of 2011, according to source [6]. I had to make a few assumptions to derive it. Source [6] has a column labeled "Constituency." The entries in that column look like "(Name) County," "(Name) Municipality," and occasionally "(Name) County East," "(Name) County North," "(Name) Municipality West," etc. I've assumed that in those cases there are several constituencies in a county-level division, and the name of the division is just (Name). On the other hand, there are some instances of "(Name) East County" and the like. In those cases, I took "(Name) East" to be the full county name. I also assumed that (Name) East county was split from (Name) county, wherever that is possible.

Thirty-two new districts were created in 2009 and 2010. I was always able to determine which old district each new district was split from. In most cases I was also able to determine which county was taken from the old district to form the new district. When there's only one county missing from the old district and the new district has two counties, one with the same name as the missing county, I assumed that the missing county was split to create the two counties in the new district.

In seven cases, I wasn't able to tell which old county a new county or municipality was split from. In those cases, it's possible that I failed to change a HASC code for a county whose territory has changed, which is my usual policy. Also, in those cases, the Ex-HASC column is just a guess. These seven cases are listed at the end of the Change history section.

Change history:

The list of counties here is my best reconstruction of the situation as of 2000-01-01. I gathered information from a variety of sources, including [1]-[4] listed below. Unfortunately, as so often happens, the sources disagree with each other, without offering any explanation.

165 divisions
  • Typ: These are 150 counties (c), 14
    municipalities (m), and one district (d:
    Kampala district's subdivisions are
    called divisions, and are on the
    same level as sub-counties).
  • HASC: Hierarchical administrative
    subdivision codes    . The middle two letters
    identify the district, according to the
    division of the country in 1997-2000. For
    key, see the Districts of Uganda page.
  1. If this reconstruction is correct, the following changes occurred between 2000-01-01 and 2002-09-13.
  2. The districts changed as described on the Districts of Uganda page. Specifically, Kaberamaido split from Soroti (SOchanged toSR+KD); Kamwenge and Kyenjojo split from Kabarole (KBchanged toBR+KE+KJ); Kanungu split from Rukungiri (RUchanged toRK+UU); Kayunga split from Mukono (MKchanged toMN+KY); Mayuge split from Iganga (IGchanged toIA+MG); Nakapiripirit split from Moroto (MOchanged toMT+NP); Pader split from Kitgum (KTchanged toTG+PD); Sironko split from Mbale (MLchanged toMB+SI); Wakiso split from Mpigi (MPchanged toMI+WA); and Yumbe split from Arua (ARchanged toAA+YU).
  3. In Adjumani district, the five counties (Adropi, Ciforo, Dzaipi, Ofua, and Pekelle) merged into one (East Moyo).
  4. In Arua district, Vurra county was created.
  5. In Kapchorwa district, Bukedea, Kumi, and Ngora counties were replaced by Kongasis, Kween, and Tingey counties.
  6. In Kibale district, Buyanja county disappeared. Possibly it was just an alternate name for Buyaga, and never a separate county.
  7. In Kisoro district, Kisoro county merged with Bufumbira.
  8. In Nakapiripirit district, the name of Upe county was changed to Pokot.
  9. In Masindi district, Buliisa and Buruli counties disappeared. (Buliisa is now the name of a sub-county of Bujenje county.)
  10. In Sembabule district, Lwemiyaga county split from Mawogola.
  11. In Tororo district, Tororo county split from Tororo municipality.
  12. The following table lists the counties as of the census date, 2002-09-13 (Source [5]). Note, however, that many new districts were created in 2005, 2006, and 2007. After that, I found it convenient to change the HASC codes to reflect the new division into districts. That's why the table has two columns of HASC codes: each county can be linked to the district that contained it in 2002 (Ex-HASC) and 2008 (HASC).

  2. During the same period, the number of county-level divisions increased from 160 to 191, so there must have been 31 new counties created. In the main table, the Ex-HASC column will usually identify which old counties were split to form the new counties. However, there were some cases where I couldn't determine how the new counties were formed. The following table lists these cases of uncertainty. If you have any information that will settle them, please go back to the main page (link below) and click on "Contact."
