Overview

Before its current status, the town was a sub-county in Wakiso District.[1] Generally, the town is already built-up and consists of mainly middle and upper-class neighborhoods.[6] In the Lubowa neighborhood, Roofings Limited maintains two of its three component companies and factories. The old Kampala-Entebbe road passes through the eastern portion of the town in a general north to south direction. The Munyonyo spur of the new Entebbe–Kampala Expressway passes through the southern portion of the new town in a general west to east direction.[4]
