Centenary is a township in Mashonaland Central province, Zimbabwe. On 21 June 2001 it became a place of pilgrimage for people who wanted to see the total solar eclipse, because it was one of the few areas of Zimbabwe that witnessed totality. Its modest size means that this astronomical event is among the best known facts recorded about it in the encyclopedia, and the township otherwise has little documented history of its own.
