Egerton University is a public university whose main campus is located in Njoro, near the city of Nakuru, Kenya.
History
The school was founded in 1939 and was orginally named Egerton Farm School. It was established thanks to a large land grant of 740 acres (3 km²) by Lord Maurice Egerton of Tatton. The school's original purpose was to prepare white European youth for careers in agriculture.
By 1955, the name had changed to Egerton Agricultural College. A one-year certificate course and a two-year diploma course in agriculture were being offered. In 1958, Lord Egerton donated another 1,100 acres (4.5 km²) of land.
