In 2001, the village was incorporated into Kira Town, the second-largest urban center in Uganda with a population of 313,761, according to the August 2014 national census. During the 21st century, it has developed into an upper middle-class residential neighborhood with scattered business locations among the residences.
In 2011, the government opened the Shimoni Primary Teachers College, which had been relocated from Kampala. The college, built at an estimated cost of US$4 million (UGX:8 billion), has a capacity of 450 student-teachers. During the construction, the Shimoni student-teachers were accommodated at Nyondo Teacher Training College in Mbale. The teacher training college opened in January 2011.
