History
Before Europeans came to Uganda, Mbuya was the seat of Kaggo, a Luganda word meaning whip. Kaggo is the title of the County Chief of Kyaddondo, then one of the 20 counties of Buganda. Today Kyaddondo surrounds Kampala to the north and east and includes most of present-day Kampala. The county headquarters were eventually moved to Kasangati and Mbuya was converted into an upscale residential and commercial area.
