Economy[]
Centenary is relatively a young agricultural district of Zimbabwe (Formerly Rhodesia). It was opened up from virgin bush in 1952 primarily for the production of tobacco. The aromatic qualities of this tobacco made it a prominent growing area. Tobacco contributed to the development of roads, schools, clinics and the later building of administrative buildings in Centenary Township.
