Gworok (Kagoro) is a large town in Kaduna State, Nigeria. It is located in the Kaura Local Government Area.

Kagoro is a Christian-dominated town. It is home to many missionaries, attracted by the cool weather and relatively high altitude. The Catholic Society of African Missions (SMA) has its northern Nigeria headquarters in Gworok (Kagoro), and the Evangelical Church Winning All (ECWA) denomination has a strong presence there, with both a theological college and a school of health technology.

During the long reign of the late Chief Dr. Gwamna Awan MBE, OON, Gworok (Kagoro) was considered strategic during political campaigning, as politicians would visit him to receive his blessing and endorsement.

GWOROK is attractive for tourists because of its mountainous scenery and cultural events such as the Afan festival, which is celebrated annually on 1 January.

Gworok (Kagoro) has a post office.[1]
