LocationKaroi is located in Karoi District, Mashonaland West Province, in central northern Zimbabwe. It is located approximately {{convert|85|km|mi}}, by road, northwest of Chinhoyi, the nearest large town, and the location of the provincial headquarters.[3] This location lies about {{convert|200|km|mi}}, northwest of Harare, Zimbabwe's capital and largest city.[4] Karoi lies along the main road, Highway A-1, between Harare and Chirundu, at the International border with the Republic of Zambia, about {{convert|170|km|mi}}, further northwest of Karoi.[5] The coordinates of Karoi are: 16° 48' 36.00"S, 29° 42' 0.00"E (Latitude:16.8100; Longitude:29.7000). OverviewIn addition to the offices of Karoi Town Council, the town is also the location of the headquarters of Karoi District Administration. The surrounding countryside is farmland, where tobacco is the primary cash crop. In 2011, the Tobacco Industry and Marketing Board (TIMB) permitted Mashonaland Tobacco Company (MTC) to open auction floors and buy tobacco in the town, but controversy arose in 2012 about purchases from uncontracted farmers.[6] There are two hotels in the town: Karoi Hotel in the center of town and Twin River Inn, about {{convert|1.6|km|mi}}, north of town, on the road to Kariba, approximately {{convert|135|km|mi}}, northwest of Karoi.[7] The main secondary schools in Karoi are Karoi High School and Chikangwe High School. The farming village of Tengwe lies about {{convert|30|km|mi}}, southwest of Karoi. HistoryThe name Karoi means "little witch". In 1945 Karoi became the designated area for mainly European war veterans who obtained government assistance to embark on farming. They engaged mainly in tobacco farming. Tobacco is still the main cash crop in Karoi District. PopulationDuring the 1992 national census, the population of the town of Karoi was estimated at 14,763. In 2004, the population estimate was 25,030.[8] Karoi has a suburb called Chikangwe, located about {{convert|2|km|mi}}, east of the central business district.
