Other "Voi" edit

Interesting, but I was searching for the Voi tribes of the Novgorod-Kiev areas in the Middle Ages.

Why is there more info on the Halo 3 storyline than the actual city?

Because kids these days have more communion with XBOX than they do with History. 144.134.131.186 (talk) 02:39, 31 August 2022 (UTC)Reply

Origins of Voi edit

The claim that the town of Voi existed prior to the arrival of Europeans is not true. The town of Voi is however, likely named after Kivoi; a Kamba chief and trader (yes, including slaves) who acted as a guide to Dr. Ludwig Krapf through whose writings he is known to History. Chief Kivoi is said to have established a trading post in proximity to Voi, somewhere on Voi River (not Voi Town, which originates as a Protectorate-era construct that grew up around the railway station). In 1914 Voi consisted of the railway station and about a half a dozen buildings most of which were ancillary to it. Voi was especially important during World War 1 as a prime strategic point (logistics) for Allied Forces combating German East African Forces.2001:8003:70F5:2400:58BB:A22B:D749:67B4 (talk) 01:37, 31 August 2022 (UTC)Reply
