Kagumo

Kagumo is a settlement in Nyeri County, Kenya.

The word Kagumo is a diminutive term for a Kikuyu word Mugumo (A name of a sacred tree where traditional Kikuyu communities performed sacrifices and worship). The word therefore means 'Where a small Mugumo tree grows'. For so long, the place has been surrounded by many Mugumo trees, one of them at the middle of the market. This is the tree that hatched this name. Unfortunately, it was cut down by the urban council due to health problems.
