In the early colonial days Nyeri was a garrison, but it soon burgeoned into a trading centre for the white farmers who produced cattle, wheat and coffee. The farmers used to come into town to have a few drinks and socialize, and the White Rhino Hotel and Aberdare Country Club at Mweiga are living reminders of these good old days.
Today the town is the administrative headquarters of the Central Province and here you will be sure to find banks, vehicle repair shops, bookstores, hardware stores and a vibrant market. It is also the gateway to the Aberdares and on a clear day you will see the majestic face of Mt. Kenya in the distance.
