A brief history of the area
During the 1840s, Thomas Fannin purchased 6,000 acres without having seen the land, which is now recognized as the KwaZulu Natal Midlands. Upon his arrival, he observed a striking resemblance to the Dargle Valley in his homeland of Ireland. As a result, he named the stream flowing through his new farm the Dargle, giving rise to the South African Dargle Valley.
