This study has examined the ‘urban infrastructural development in Birnin Kebbi town, 1960-1991’. The study discussed both social and economic infrastructure in Birnin Kebbi town, to fill the inherent gaps left by previous scholars of urban history. It’s evident that, demographic and spatial expansion of Birnin Kebbi town during the period of study was largely due to government bias policies on developmental projects allocated to administrative centers in Nigeria, such as Birnin Kebbi town. The environmental factors, Local Government Reform of 1976, State creation, and natural population growth, among others, contributed greatly to infrastructural development in the town. The urbanization of Birnin Kebbi town is largely owed to government influence through developmental projects, such as the emergence of new wards, employment opportunities, among others. Methodologically, the study largely relies on the synthesis of primary and secondary sources of historical data collection and interpretation, which includes oral interviews, government documents, as well as textbooks and journals.
