The founding of Mombasa is associated with two rulers: Mwana Mkisi (female) and Shehe Mvita. According to oral history and medieval commentaries, Shehe Mvita superseded the dynasty of Mwana Mkisi and established his own town on Mombasa Island. The ancient history associated with Shehe Mvita and the founding of an urban settlement on Mombasa Island is still linked to present-day people living in Mombasa.
