Matungulu is an administrative division in Machakos County, Kenya.
[1] Matungulu was established as a settlement in the early 1920s by the colonial government.
Colonial settlers evicted many local people and established coffee plantations.
The people who chose to stay became squatters and worked on the settlers' coffee farms.
After Kenya's independence in 1963, the settlers sold their coffee plantations to local co-operative societies and left the country.
