Located
in the heartland of Tanzania, Dodoma is the nation’s official political capital
and the seat of government in the country. Comparably, it is much smaller and
less developed than the country’s commercial centre, Dar es Salaam.
Dodoma
remains a centre for national politics. Situated on the eastern edge of the
southern highlands, the city of Dodoma is surrounded by a rich agricultural
area and pleasant scenery. Dodoma has many places and items of interest to
recommend to the passing visitor. It is the centre of Tanzania’s growing wine
industry and the Tanganyika Vineyards Company is active in promoting its
products.
Historically,
Dodoma was a stopover on the overland caravan route that travelled from the
Swahili Coast inland toward Lake Tanganyika. Early in the 20th century, the
city became a major point on the Central Line railway, which carried
agricultural crops for export to the harbour in Dar es Salaam. In recent times,
the town’s economic base has declined in favour of the coastal city, but in the
early days of Tanzanian independence, there was a popular political motion to
move the entire government to the town in the southern highlands. These days,
the government legislature meets in Dodoma, and divides its time between the
inland city and Dar es Salaam on the coast.
