Chimoio

Chimoio has served as a railway town in Manica Province since the early 20th century. Set on Mozambique’s central plateau, it lies below the Eastern Highlands, whose borderland ridges extend towards Zimbabwe. The city developed under Portuguese rule as Vila Pery, a name it retained until Mozambique gained independence in 1975. Today, as the provincial capital, it is an important urban centre on the transport corridor between Beira and Zimbabwe. Markets, commerce and public life give the centre a distinctly regional rhythm, while the wider province combines farmland with mountain country.
