Sometime after that date, Muteesa I of Buganda, having met misfortune at Banda Hill, where he had built his first palace, relocated to Nabulagala. He renamed the hill Kasubi, after the ancestral village of his mother, located in then Kyaggwe County, what today is known as Mukono District.[2] Today, Buganda traditionalists refer to the place interchangeably as Kasubi or Nabulagala or Kasubi-Nabulagala.{{citation needed|date=February 2016}} {{Refimprove|paragraph|date=January 2017}}After his death in 1884, Kabaka Muteesa I was buried at Kasubi, the first Kabaka to be buried there.
