Buddu

Buddu is a historic county, or ssaza, of Buganda on the northwest shore of Lake Victoria in present-day Uganda. The wide, swampy Katonga River separates it from much of the rest of Buganda, although soils and climate are similar. Fertile farming land supported a substantial population before the late eighteenth century, when Kabaka Jjunju of Buganda defeated a Bunyoro army and captured Buddu, then a province of Bunyoro.
