Doonholm

Doonholm or Donholm is a commercial and residential neighbourhood in Nairobi.

A legacy of what was a dairy farm with the same name, Doonholm is a suburb in the Eastlands area of Nairobi.

It is located 8 kilometres (5 mi) east of the Nairobi central business district, within the larger sub-county of Embakasi.

[1] Donholm's name comes from a colonial Kenya land and plantation owner James Kerr Watson (3 October 1881 – 11 November 1955), who gave the name "Doonholm" to his dairy farm in the area.

It has increasingly turned into a high-density suburb, hosting the lower middle-income to low-income segment of Nairobi residents.
