ENTEBBE
Entebbe is popularly known many as the home to Uganda’s only International Airport which was opened in 1929. “Entebbe” in the local language means a “seat” and was probably named that because it was the place where a Baganda chief sat to adjudicate legal cases. It first became a British colonial administrative and commercial center in 1893 when Sir Gerald Portal, a colonial Commissioner, used it as a base.
