Isiolo County, Administrative county in northern Kenya
Isiolo County encompasses 25,349 square kilometers of arid plains crossed by the Ewaso Nyiro River, bordering six other Kenyan counties.
The British East Africa Protectorate designated Isiolo as the headquarters of the Northern Frontier Districts in 1922, maintaining this status until 1963.
The population of 268,002 residents includes Borana, Turkana, Samburu, Somali, and Meru communities, with Islam practiced by 69 percent of inhabitants.
The county maintains a network of 1,484 kilometers of roads, connecting three national game reserves and multiple trading centers through earth, murram, and bitumen surfaces.
The Desert Wheel Race in 2022 brought together athletes with disabilities from across the region, demonstrating the county's commitment to inclusive sports.
