Eastern Province, Administrative province in eastern Kenya
The Eastern Province extends from Mount Kenya foothills to semi-arid plains, encompassing five counties across 159,891 square kilometers of diverse terrain.
The province emerged during Kenya's colonial period and maintained its administrative structure until 2010, when the new constitution replaced provinces with county governments.
The region contains multiple ethnic groups including the Embu, Meru, and Kamba peoples, each maintaining their traditional farming practices and social structures.
Agricultural activities in the Eastern Province focus on tea, coffee, and cotton production, with Embu town serving as the primary commercial center.
Mount Kenya National Park within the province contains several glaciers at the equator, supporting distinct ecological zones from rainforest to alpine vegetation.
