Chipata

Chipata is the capital of Zambia's Eastern Province, the seat of provincial administration, and one of the larger urban centres of the country. GeoNames places it at about 13.633 degrees south and 32.650 degrees east. The census of 18 August 2022 counted 188,020 people there, compared with 116,627 at the census of 16 October 2010. City Population compiled that 2022 figure from ward figures of the Central Statistical Office of Zambia. It was formerly known as Fort Jameson, a name GeoNames still lists among its alternate names. The SRTM 90 metre elevation model gives about 1147 metres above sea level at its coordinates, which is highland terrain, and because Zambia has no coastline the settlement lies inland.
