Tooro

Toro or Tooro was a Bantu kingdom located within the borders of Uganda. It existed between 1891 and 1967, when the traditional Bantu kingdoms were abolished by the Government of Uganda. Its territory included the districts of Bundibugyo, Bunyangabu, Kabarole, Kamwenge, Kasese, Kitagwenda, Kyegegwa, Kyenjojo, and Ntoroko.

It was restored in 1993, but its territory, that is coterminous with the Toro sub-region, has shrunk due to the detachment of the Bundibugyo, Kasese, and Ntoroko districts.
