History

During the 1960s and 1970s, Ntinda was a small trading center with a few shops, a farmers market, and several housing estates for employees of the East African Railways. After the regime changes in the country in the 1980s, Ntinda became attractive to the well-to-do, and upscale residential neighborhoods began to spring up in the area. One such residential neighborhood had so many Uganda Cabinet Ministers taking up residence that it became known as "Ministers Village".
