Mbinga was derived from a Matengo word ‘’mbengaje’’ which means “chase them” it was originated when the German colonials came to Mbinga, and the chief ordered the indigenous people to chase them. The Germans thought that the place was called “mbengaje”. Since the Germans could not pronounce the word properly, they pronounced
“mbinga” instead of “mbengaje”. Mbinga Town Council was established in 2015 as a town council by the Local Government Notice number 433a of 25th September 2015 and is one of
