Maracha District: History
Initially, the counties of Maracha and Terego were removed from Arua District to form a new, single district, which was also known as Maracha–Terego District or Nyadri District. From the district's inception, the location of its headquarters had been a contentious issue. In February 2007, one group of elected officials from the district led by the former Hon.Min Alex Onzima asked a court to block the location of the new district headquarters in an opposing location. After nearly five years of disagreement, Terego County opted to return to Arua District and Maracha County went on to form the new district on its own.
