All of them belong to Lurambi Constituency, which has a total of fifteen wards. The remaining five are located within Kakamega County Council, the rural council of Kakamega District [2].

Kakamega was the scene of a gold rush in the early 1930's, fueled partly by the reports of the geologist Albert Ernest Kitson.

Kakamega area receives a very high amount of annual precipitation and contains Kakamega Forest, a preserve which is a remnant of a rainforest that stretched west through Uganda.
