Origin
The name Kitui means ‘a place where iron goods are made’. The Kamba iron-smiths who settled in the county many years before the colonial period are the ones who named the area Kitui.
The Akamba are still known for their fine work in wood carving, basketry, and pottery and products. Their artistic inclination is evidenced in the sculpture work that is on display in many craft shops and galleries in the major cities and towns of Kenya.
The most famous son of Kitui has to be ‘Chief Kivoi’ (born in the 1780s). He was a Kamba long Distance trader who lived in the present-day Kitui. He is best known for guiding the first Europeans to reach the interior of the area of present-day Kenya where the German missionaries Johann Ludwig Krapf and Johannes Rebmann of the Anglican Church Missionary Society (CMS), in 1849, “discovered” Mount Kenya.
Chief Kivoi interacted with Arabs at the coast and Voi town was named after him because that was one of his stop-overs towns where caravans settled before entered into the coastal town of Mombasa.
