Did you know?
Howick gets its name from the Northumberland home of Earl Grey, who was the British Colonial Secretary in 1847. The town is set on land bought from a Wesleyan missionary, James Archbell, owner of three large farms whose names are still familiar today: Stocklands, Oatlands, and Woodlands. The government bought land from him to establish a settlement near to where travellers crossed the Umngeni River.
