Information | The link between the former Borough of Finchley and Jinja was formed in 1963. In 1964 the newly-formed Barnet Council agreed to continue the twinning, but the following year decided to retain correspondence links only. Jinja is the second largest town in Uganda. It was founded in 1901 as a colonial centre and became a municipality in 1957. Located at the point where the River Nile flows out of Lake Victoria, it is located in the south east of the country, just over 50 miles from the capital of Kampala. |
