The 410 Bridge started its partnership with Ulu in 2023. The word, ulu, means raised place. In the 18th century, a railway station was erected along the railway line in the area. The railway was moving products from the coastal region of Kenya to Nairobi and they felt this area was "raised" above the sea level. Thus, the name Ulu was chosen. Fertile lands and adequate rainfall provide opportunities for many community members in farming. The most popular crops are maize and beans.
