Its website states that it is the oldest institution of higher education in Kenya.[1] LocationThe main campus of the university is located in Njoro, a small community approximately {{convert|25|km|0}}, southwest of the town of Nakuru.[2] This is located approximately {{convert|182|km|0}}, by road, northwest of Nairobi, the capital and largest city in Kenya.[3] The coordinates of the university main campus are:0°22'11.0"S, 35°55'58.0"E (Latitude:-0.369734; Longitude:35.932779).[4] HistoryThe school was founded in 1939, and was originally named Egerton Farm School.[5] It was established by a large land grant of 740 acres (3 km²) by Maurice Egerton, 4th Baron Egerton of Tatton. The school's original purpose was to prepare white European youth for careers in agriculture.[6] By 1955, the name had changed to Egerton Agricultural College. A one-year certificate course and a two-year diploma course in agriculture were offered. In 1958, Lord Egerton donated another {{convert|1100|acre|km2}} of land. Soon afterwards, the college opened its doors to people of all races from Kenya and other African countries.[6] In 1979, with support from the Government of Kenya and USAID, the college expanded yet again, becoming part of the University of Nairobi system. In 1987, the college was recognized as a chartered public university.[7] Multiple campusesEgerton University has four campuses, one of them being a constituent college.[1]
