TORO .............................................. ..................................................... ................................... The settlements shown for Toro were located from north of Fort Portal to the south and west for fifteen miles. A characteristic settlement consisted of several houses within a banana grove. Small cultivated areas for root crops were nearby. Further south in the Kasese area, larger cultivated fields were observed. This area contained a copper mine, copper smelter and rail terminus. These larger fields were probably used for commercial agriculture to supply the industrial activities of the area.

The Fort Portal area. Settlement densities here are among the highest in Toro. Eucalyptus trees, initially from Australia,surround many houses.
