Lushoto, known as Wilhelmstal during the
German colonial rule, is one of the eight districts of Tanga Region in
Tanzania. It is bordered to the northeast by Kenya, to the east by the
Muheza District, to the northwest by the Kilimanjaro Region and to the
south by the Korogwe District. The district's capital and largest town
is Lushoto.It was formerly known as Wilhelmstal (William's Valley) and
was named after Emperor Wilhelm II.
During the German colonial period from the 1890s to 1918 the area was
popular with settlers, hence the German place name of Wilhelmstal. Large
farms and plantations were created, and the district was valued for its
pleasant mountain climate. Numerous church missions were, and remain,
active.
Between 1893 and 1911 the German Ostafrikanische
Eisenbahngesellschaft (East African Railway Company) constructed an
important railway line starting at Tanga on the coast and passing along
the Usambara Mountains with a station at Mombo, about 20 kilometers (12
mi) from Wilhelmstal, to "New" Moshi at Kilimanjaro.
The
initial plan of the Usambarabahn was to connect the port of Tanga with
Lake Victoria by passing south of the Usambara Mountains. This was in
direct competition with parallel British efforts in colonial Kenya. From
4 June 1912 to 12 May 1913 the line was renamed Nordbahn(Northern
Railway).
According
to the 2002 Tanzania National Census, the population of the Lushoto
District was 419,970. By 2012, the population had increased to
492,441.
