Ruwa is a town in Mashonaland East Province, Zimbabwe, situated 23 km south-east of the capital Harare on the main Harare-Mutare highway and railway line. Ruwa falls within the Harare metropolitan Province and was officially established as a Growth Point in 1986 in terms of the Acts, Income Tax Chapter and Sales Tax Chapter. It was granted the Local board status through a warrant in 1990.
==History== In the 1890s commercial farming began in the area and a small trading post Ruwa was established to serve as an administrative and trading centre for the mixed farming community. Its first local authority, the Bromley-Ruwa Rural Council (BRRC) was set up in 1950.
