Located
in the southern highlands of Tanzania, near the country’s legislative capital
of Dodoma and the agricultural centre of Morogoro, Iringa is a pleasant small
town and a focus of regional agriculture and production. Its streets are quiet
and peaceful, and the market offers a colourful scene of traditional African
culture. Iringa overlooks the Little Ruaha River and it is a popular stopping
point for visitors to Ruaha National Park.
Historically,
Iringa was a centre of colonial administration. During German occupation, the
German military constructed the town as a fortified defense against marauding
Hehe tribal warriors intent on driving them out of the region. Gangilonga Rock,
a site just outside of the town, is a legendary spot where the Hehe chief at
that time, Chief Mkwawa, met his people and decided on how to fight the
Germans. Iringa was also the site of several battles during the First and
Second World Wars and the Commonwealth War Graves are located just outside of
town.
