History Of Buganda Counties
At its founding, the Kingdom of Buganda had only a small territory consisting of the counties of Busiro, Busujju, Kyaddondo and Mawokota; as well as small portions of Ssingo and Bulemeezi counties.
Most of the surrounding territory was the dominion of the kings of Bunyoro. There was considerable rivalry between Buganda and neighbors, and constant fighting over territory expansion.
Gradually, Buganda was able to expand its territory at the expense of its neighbors until it grew to twenty counties that constituted Buganda at its pinnacle. However, as we speak now, the Kingdom consists of 18 counties after losing Buyaga and Bugangazzi
The islands of Ssese were autonomous within Buganda right from its founding, being reserved as the Islands of the gods. They were not directly governed by the Kings of Buganda until after the 1900 agreement.
