Fort Nottingham

History

Fort Nottingham is a fort in the KwaZulu-Natal Midlands of South Africa, established in 1856. The garrison was originally developed as a post to protect British settlers in the foothills of the Drakensberg Mountains from livestock theft by the local San people. The first recorded white hunter / traders arrived at the Bay at Port Natal in 1824. 20 years later, an English settler elite had formed in Durban Natal had been annexed by the British in 1843. Most of the Boers in the Natal Midlands had sold all their farms or terminated their leases and moved north to avoid British rule in the Crown Colony of Natal.
