areas controlled by the <a href="/wiki/British_Empire" title="British Empire">British Empire</a>. The company was incorporated in <a href="/wiki/London" title="London">London</a> on 18 April 1888 and granted a royal charter by <a href="/wiki/Queen_Victoria" title="Queen Victoria">Queen Victoria</a> on 6 September 1888. It was led by the <a href="/wiki/Scottish_people" title="Scottish people">Scotsman</a> <a href="/wiki/Sir_William_Mackinnon,_1st_Baronet" title="Sir William Mackinnon, 1st Baronet">William Mackinnon</a> and built upon his company's trading activities in the region, with the encouragement of the British government through the granting of an imperial charter, although it remained unclear what that actually meant. </p><p>The IBEAC oversaw an area of about 246,800 square miles (639,000 km<sup>2</sup>) along the eastern coast of Africa (from modern-day Somalia to modern-day Kenya), its centre being at about <a href="/wiki/39th_meridian_east" title="39th meridian east">39° East</a> <a href="/wiki/Longitude" title="Longitude">longitude</a> and <a href="/wiki/Equator" title="Equator">0°</a> <a href="/wiki/Latitude" title="Latitude">latitude</a>. <a href="/wiki/Mombasa" title="Mombasa">Mombasa</a> and its harbour were central to its operations, with an administrative office about 50 miles (80 km) south in <a href="/wiki/Shimoni" title="Shimoni">Shimoni</a>. It granted immunity of prosecution to <a href="/wiki/British_subjects" class="mw-redirect" title="British subjects">British subjects</a> and allowed them the right to raise taxes, impose custom duties, administer justice, make treaties and otherwise act as the government of the area.<sup id="cite_ref-Oliver_1-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-Oliver-1"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>1<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p><p>In 1893 the IBEAC transferred its administration rights of the territory to the British Government. The territory was then divided to form the <a href="/wiki/Uganda_Protectorate" class="mw-redirect" title="Uganda Protectorate">Uganda Protectorate</a> in 1894 and <a href="/wiki/East_Africa_Protectorate" title="East Africa Protectorate">East Africa Protectorate</a> (later <a href="/wiki/Kenya" title="Kenya">Kenya</a>) in 1895. </p> <meta property="mw:PageProp/toc" /> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="History">History</h2><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Imperial_British_East_Africa_Company&action=edit&section=1" title="Edit section: History"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <p>In the early 1880s, European powers rushed to acquire territories within areas of interest in Africa, which had not yet been claimed by a non-African nation or state. One of these areas, the <a href="/wiki/Sultanate_of_Zanzibar" title="Sultanate of Zanzibar">Sultanate of Zanzibar</a> and the interior of Eastern Africa, caught the attention of both Germany and Britain. Hoping to resolve this common interest in a peaceful manner, in 1886 Germany and Britain signed a treaty in which they agreed upon what lands they would exclusively pursue. Germany would lay claim to the coast of present-day Tanzania and Britain retained access to the area in which Kenya and Uganda lie. </p><p>At the same time, Britain was focusing its resources in other interests which included land acquired in Southern Africa. This left the British government reluctant in accepting full responsibility for this newly acknowledged region. In an effort to ease this potential burden, Britain considered allowing a commercial company the right to administer and develop the eastern territory. In 1888, <a href="/wiki/Sir_William_Mackinnon,_1st_Baronet" title="Sir William Mackinnon, 1st Baronet">Sir William Mackinnon</a> and the Imperial British East Africa Company (IBEAC) were authorized to serve this purpose. </p><p>The IBEAC assumed responsibility of annexing the land stretching from the eastern coast of Kenya all the way to the northwestern shore of <a href="/wiki/Lake_Victoria" title="Lake Victoria">Lake Victoria</a>. </p><p>Other than the expected work involved with governing the exportation and management of goods and agriculture, the main role of the IBEAC was to begin facilitating the construction of a railway connecting the east coast region of <a href="/wiki/Mombasa" title="Mombasa">Mombasa</a> to Lake Victoria. The company employed <a href="/wiki/James_Macdonald_(engineer)" class="mw-redirect" title="James Macdonald (engineer)">James Macdonald</a> assisted by <a href="/wiki/John_Wallace_Pringle" title="John Wallace Pringle">John Wallace Pringle</a>, both officers in the <a href="/wiki/Royal_Engineers" title="Royal Engineers">Royal Engineers</a>, to undertake the survey in 1891–1892.
