Overview
Bugoye is a small urban center in Kasese District, in Uganda's Rwenzururu sub-region. It lies in western Uganda within the Rwenzori Mountains, near Uganda's border with the Democratic Republic of the Congo. The town is approximately 20 kilometres north of Kasese, the district headquarters, and about 350 kilometres west of Kampala. Its reported coordinates are approximately 0.3050° north latitude and 30.1000° east longitude, and it stands at an elevation of about 1,232 metres above sea level. Bugoye is administered by Bugoye Town Council, an urban local government operating within the wider Kasese District administration. The town's civic and commercial features include the offices of Bugoye Town Council, the offices of Bugoye sub-county, and Bugoye Central Market. The Mubuku River runs through the town generally from north to south. Bugoye Power Station, a 13-megawatt mini-hydropower installation, is located in the southern part of the town near the main street. Bugoye also has Bugoye Health Centre III, a health facility owned by Uganda's Ministry of Health and operated in collaboration with Mbarara University School of Medicine and the MGH Center for Global Health. The available reference material does not identify Bugoye as a commercial brand, company, product, or consumer-facing business. It also does not provide a confirmed population figure as of May 2014, corporate ownership, commercial website, founding date, or brand-management structure. Accordingly, this dossier treats Bugoye as a geographic place rather than inventing commercial-brand attributes.
History
Bugoye is identified in the available reference material as a small town and urban center in western Uganda rather than as a commercial brand. It is situated in Kasese District, within the Rwenzururu sub-region and the Rwenzori Mountains. The town's location places it close to Uganda's international boundary with the Democratic Republic of the Congo and approximately 20 kilometres north of Kasese, the administrative headquarters of the district. It is approximately 350 kilometres west of Kampala. Bugoye's reported elevation is about 1,232 metres, reflecting its mountainous setting, and the Mubuku River passes through the town from north to south. Local administration is associated with Bugoye Town Council and Bugoye sub-county. Civic and commercial activity includes the town council offices, sub-county offices, and Bugoye Central Market. Infrastructure identified near or within the town includes Bugoye Power Station, a 13-megawatt mini-hydropower facility in the southern part of Bugoye near the main street. Health services include Bugoye Health Centre III, which is owned by Uganda's Ministry of Health and operated in collaboration with Mbarara University School of Medicine and the MGH Center for Global Health. The reference material does not establish a founding date, population total, major historical events, commercial ownership, or a formal brand history. It records the town's population as unknown in the cited May 2014 context. Other urban centers in Kasese District include Hima, Bwera, Mpondwe, and Kalongo. Because the authoritative subject is the Ugandan locality Bugoye, this entry does not associate it with unrelated businesses, products, or better-known namesakes.
