Toro is one of the four traditional kingdoms located within the borders of Uganda. It was founded in 1830 when the eldest son of the Omukama of Bunyoro rebelled and established his own independent kingdom. Incorporated back into Bunyoro-Kitara in 1876, it reasserted its independence in 1891.
Like Buganda, Bunyoro, and Nkore, Toro's monarchy was abolished in 1967 by the government of Uganda, but was reinstated in 1993.
