History
The school was founded in 1939 and was originally 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.
Soon afterwards, the college opened its doors to people of all races from Kenya and other African countries. The first African principal, Dr. William Odongo Omamo, was appointed in 1966.
In 1979, thanks to support from the Government of Kenya and
USAID, the college expanded yet again. It became a part of the
University of Nairobi system and by 1987 was classified as a university.
