Nakuru County is one of the 47 counties of Kenya. The county is host to Kenya's fifth urban area that was assigned the status of "city", Nakuru City (which also serves as the county capital) by President Uhuru Kenyatta, ranking it alongside the other Kenyan cities of Nairobi, Mombasa, Kisumu, and Eldoret. With a population of 453,000 as per the 2025 census, it is the third most-populous county in Kenya after Nairobi County and Kiambu County, in that order. With an area of 7,496.5 km2, it is Kenya's 19th largest county in size.
Nakuru County formed part of the Rift Valley Province until 2013 when Kenyan provinces were disbanded in-favor of devolved counties as per the 2010 Kenyan Constitution. The county is now variously considered to be part of either the Mount Kenya region or the Great Rift Valley region, although neither region is an official administrative nor governmental subdivision of Kenya.
