Information about Eshowe South Africa
Eshowe, Uthungulu District, KwaZulu-Natal, South Africa, is the oldest town of European settlement in Zululand. Eshowe's
name is said to be inspired by the sound of wind blowing through the more than 4 km² of the indigenous Dhlinza Forest, the most important and striking feature of the town.
In 1860 Cetshwayo, then only a Zulu prince, built a kraal here and named the place Eziqwaqweni (the abode of robbers). A mission station was established at Eshowe in 1861 once permission has been obtained from the Zulu King Cetshwayo by Norwegian missionary, the Reverend Ommund Ofterbro. Later the station was called the KwaMondi Mission Station (place of Mondi) after the Zulu name which was given to Ofterbro.
