Welcome to Gulu City
RIBE AYE TEKO
Overview
Gulu town owes its origin to the effects of the colonial era, the East African railway line and the presence of missionaries. Gulu was declared a township in 1906 and had assumed the role of facilitating communication between settlers, exchange and transshipment of agricultural produce of the northern Uganda region. The major planning attempt on the town, which was a gridiron pattern, was done in 1915 and by then the town had now been identified as the colonial administrative headquarter for the northern region otherwise called the Acholi District. Gulu became a Town Council in 1974 under the Urban Authority Act of 1964, which has been repealed and became a Municipality in 1977. It was among the very first Municipality in this Country. Gulu City was created through an Act of Parliament in and became operational on 1st July 2020.
