About Egerton University

Egerton University was founded in 1939 and was originally named Egerton Farm School.
It was established by a large land grant of 740 acres 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 offered. In 1958, Lord Egerton donated another 1,100 acres of land.Soon afterward, the college opened its doors to people of all races from Kenya and other African countries.
In 1987, the College was finally recognized as a Chartered Public University.
