Bugolobi began in the early 1900s as the early residential area for the colonial elite influenced by the British policies that created upscale neighbourhoods. It was named after a pioneer resident called Lugoloobi. A significant development was the Bugolobi flats,built through a joint venture with Israeli companies in the late 1960s, through the Israel presence that ended in 1972
