About [[ | About [[100,000 BCE]], near the end of the [[Forerunner-Flood war]], the [[Librarian]] landed on Earth near the site where the town of Voi would be built millennia later. There, she oversaw the creation and subsequent burying of the [[Installation 00|Ark]] [[Portal at Voi|Portal]] structure, which would be hidden for thousands of years to come, and would spend her last days in the nearby region before the [[Halo Array]] purged the galaxy of sentient life. | ||
Voi has a long history. The town is centuries old, and was formerly a simple market town. According to local history the name of town comes from a slave trader called Chief Kivoi who settled near the Voi river around the 17th century. There after the town grew as a trade post between the local Taita people, other Kenyan tribes and Arabs. The town started to grow at the end of the 19th century when the Kenya-Uganda railway was constructed. People started to move in to work on the railway and the nearby Sisal estates.{{Ref/Reuse|Voi}} | Voi has a long history. The town is centuries old, and was formerly a simple market town.
