Meru County

Meru has served as a cultural heartland within eastern Kenya since the precolonial era. Set on the northeastern foothills of Mount Kenya, the town is the administrative centre of Meru County and a busy commercial meeting point for the surrounding highlands. The Meru people give the area its name and maintain a distinct identity within the wider Mount Kenya region. Farming shapes daily life: wetter slopes support crops, while the Nyambene Hills to the north are associated with miraa cultivation. Roads through Meru link upland communities with markets and services, reinforcing the town’s role in eastern Kenya.
