Mumias is a town in Kakamega County, Kenya, with an urban population of 116,358 at the 2009 census, making it the second largest town in the county. It was the centre of the former Mumias District and is linked by road to Kakamega, Busia, Bungoma, Butere, Luanda, Maseno and Kisumu. The rivers Nzoia and Lusumu pass close to the town. Mumias has four major hospitals, a modern bus park and market, and Bomani Grounds stadium. The Mumias Sugar Company, now collapsed, was a major employer and owned Mumias Sugar FC, one of Kenya's top football teams until it was disbanded in 2007.
