Goa is a state in southwest India, bounded by the states of Maharashatra to the North and Karnataka to the East and South, with the Arabian Sea forming its Western boundary.
In Bombay, the British began employing English-speaking Goans towards the end of the 19th century. When the newly formed Imperial British East Africa Company (IBEA) turned to Bombay to recruit staff in the 1890s, they found Goans qualified and willing to relocate to Kenya.
When the British established a Protectorate Government over Kenya in 1895, the new administration retained most of the IBEA Company employees, Goan and others.
The Goan Gymkhana was established in 1935 for membership by the Goan community working in the civil service or the railways.
The building is situated on Ngara Road below the current site of the National Museum.
Goan Gymkhana is the site of Nairobi Chess Club since 2011
