Nairobi Kenya name comes from the Maasai phrase, “Enkare Nyirobi,” which means “place of cold water” for the river that flows through the area. This abbreviated English to Nairobi, to build a large terminal on the site, and move the railway administrative offices here. Most of the railway construction workers brought from India the other British “jewel in the crown,” India, and housing for them as well as administration officials were also constructed. Travel to Nairobi soon became important as a lot of Indian traders arrived and set up shops and businesses to provide goods and services needed by administrators and workers.
