Nottingham Road, RSA
Nottingham Road is situated in the heart of the beautiful KwaZulu Natal Midlands, in a scenic landscape of rolling hills. It lies approximately 60km north of Pietermaritzburg, which was founded in 1836 by the Voortrekkers and named after Gerrit Maritz and Piet Retief. The first white settlers in the Midlands were the Voortrekkers, who began leaving the area when Britain annexed the Boer Republic of Natalia in 1843. Nottingham Road itself was named after the Nottinghamshire Regiment stationed in the area in 1856 during the building of Fort Nottingham. The fort and some of the early buildings can be seen today at the Fort Nottingham Museum. In 1880, work on the Durban-Johannesburg railway began, but the station was over 30km from the original fort and the settlement moved more towards the station, which is Nottingham Road today. The station transformed the town and area, enabling farmers to transport goods to and from Pietermaritzburg.
Today there are quaint little taverns, historic landmarks, stud farms and sheep farms dating back to the pioneering days. So, there is much for visitors to do and see.
