Adjumani

Historical Significance of Adjumani

Adjumani District was established in 1997, carved out from Moyo District. Its name is derived from its largest town, Adjumani, which has been a hub of cultural exchange for generations. The district has also played a crucial role in hosting refugees fleeing conflict in South Sudan, embodying the spirit of resilience and compassion. Because it’s a place for those who flee to finally rest, it’s why we call it “The Resting Shoulder.”
