Koboko Municipality is among the Towns that became prominent due to trade booms in the area where it was a commercial centre and development was taking place at a very fast rate, by 1974 it was elevated to Town Council up to 1979 and in this period it was the headquarters of the then North Nile District. By 1979 due to the war that removed President Iddi Amin Government there was a lot of destruction that brought all development activities to halt and the existing development destroyed and the Town Council ceased and it became an abandoned trading centre. Throughout the 1980s Koboko had virtually ceased to exist as an urban Centre as people were majorly in exile until 1986 when people started to return from exile to resettle and development process restarted to take root again on and eventually by 1990 it became a town board.
