Short History of Durban
The first European to discover Durban was Vasco Da Gama. On route to the east, Da Gama spotted the natural port in 1497. Later on, the port was turned into a refreshment stop and safe haven for passing ships and merchants.
After years of being used as a port for ships, the refreshment stop grew into a small town, and later on, into a city. The city is thus named after Sir Benjamin D'Urban, who was governor of the Cape Colony when the town Was officially founded in 1835.
Throughout its history, it has seen many power struggles. As an important strategic point, the British encounter battles with both the Zulus and the Boers for control.
The history of Durban is more famously characterized by those who made it home. When under the control of the British, indentured workers were brought in from India to farm the sugar cane fields. The city has become an eclectic mixture of Indians, Europeans, and Africans, although just about everyone living in Durban today considers themselves as African. The diversity of the cultures is what makes Durban such a special place and a favourite tours destination.
