It continued in that respect for many decades until other municipalities outgrew it and Kampala overtook it to become Uganda's capital. Besides, the town also hosted the office (seat) of the chief in Buganda who adjudicated in legal matters of the inhabitants and that sum it all how the town earned its name from the Luganda word "Ntebe" (chair).
