German Colonial Administrator way back in 1892 for the purpose of
coordinating the raw cotton export to Europe.

This product was being produced in the region and the production
was growing fast. Mwanza Town experiences a steady growth.
This growth was mainly due to the conductive economic activities which were abound in the region as enumerated hereunder.
