The word "Enugu" (from <i>Enu Ugwu</i>) means "the top of the hill". The first European settlers arrived in the area in 1909, led by a British mining engineer named <a href="/wiki/Albert_Ernest_Kitson" class="mw-redirect" title="Albert Ernest Kitson">Albert Kitson</a>. In his quest for silver, he discovered coal in the Udi Ridge which is why the state is regarded as coal city state. The Colonial Governor of Nigeria <a href="/wiki/Frederick_Lugard" class="mw-redirect" title="Frederick Lugard">Frederick Lugard</a> took a keen interest in the discovery, and by 1914 the first shipment of coal was made to Britain. As mining activities increased in the area, a permanent cosmopolitan settlement emerged, supported by a railway system. Enugu acquired township status in 1917 and became strategic to British interests. Foreign businesses began to move into Enugu, the most notable of which were John Holt, Kingsway Stores, the British Bank of West Africa and the <a href="/wiki/United_Africa_Company" title="United Africa Company">United Africa Company</a>. </p><p>From Enugu, the British administration was able to spread its influence over the Southern Province of Nigeria. The colonial past of Enugu is today evidenced by the Georgian building types and meandering narrow roads within the residential area originally reserved for the whites, an area which is today called the Government Reserved Area (GRA). </p><p>From being the capital of the Southern Provinces, Enugu became the capital of the Eastern Region (now divided into nine States), the capital of the now defunct Federal Republic of <a href="/wiki/Biafra" title="Biafra">Biafra</a>, thereafter, the capital of East Central State, Anambra State, (old) Enugu State, and now the capital of the present Enugu State through a process of state creation and diffusion of administrative authority.<sup id="cite_ref-14" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-14"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>14<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Politics">Politics</h2><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Enugu_State&action=edit&section=4" title="Edit section: Politics"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <p>The State Government and the <a href="/wiki/Local_Government_Areas_of_Nigeria" class="mw-redirect" title="Local Government Areas of Nigeria">Local Government</a> are the two levels of government in Enugu State and in all other <a href="/wiki/States_of_Nigeria" title="States of Nigeria">states of Nigeria</a>. <a href="/wiki/Peter_Mbah" title="Peter Mbah">Peter Mbah</a> is the current executive governor of Enugu State.

The Oji River Power Station (which used to supply electricity to all of Eastern Nigeria) is located in Enugu State. With the deregulation of electricity generation in Nigeria and the privatisation of the Power Holding Company of Nigeria (PHCN), it is hoped the State Government would assist private investors to negotiate the take over and reactivation of the Oji Power Station. This is more so with the proximity of the Enugu coal mines to the power station, a driving distance of about 20 minutes. There are also traces of crude oil in Ugwuoba, in the same <a href="/wiki/Oji-River" class="mw-redirect" title="Oji-River">Oji-River</a> Local Government area of the state. The state will also negotiate with investors interested in investing in the coal mining in Enugu.
