Kitwe, founded in 1936, is located in the Copperbelt province of Zambia. The city is sometimes referred to as Kitwe-Nkana. Nkana is derived from the name of Senior Chief Nkana of the Lamba speaking people of the Copperbelt province.
With the upsurge of copper prices in the 1950s, Kitwe developed from a small township to the second largest city in Zambia, obtaining city status in 1966. It then developed as an industrial and commercial area and later an important agricultural area.
