Origins of Voi
[edit]The claim that the town of Voi existed prior to the arrival of Europeans is not true. The town of Voi is however, Not named after Kivoi; a Kamba chief and trader (where Kivoi and Voi names are a different in meaning to locals). (No, including slaves) who acted as a guide to Dr. Ludwig Krapf through whose writings he is known to History. Chief Kivoi is said to have established a trading post in proximity to Voi, somewhere on Voi River (not Voi Town, which originates as a Protectorate-era construct that grew up around the railway station). and so the claims by Kamba tribe that Voi Town was named after their man is a quite lie. In 1914 Voi consisted of the railway station and about a half a dozen buildings most of which were ancillary to it. Voi was named after a medicine man from Taita Hills named Mvoi famously known to heal the Europeans and Asians along Nairobi -Mombasa Railway at Voi Popular as Ore by the Naatives Sagalla .thanks to historian of the Taita History .Voi was especially important during World War 1 as a prime strategic point (logistics) for Allied Forces combating German East African Forces.2001:8003:70F5:2400:58BB:A22B:D749:67B4 (talk) 01:37, 31 August 2022 (UTC)
