Melmoth is a small town in Natal. Shaka, King of the Zulus, was born in Melmoth around 1785. The town was established when the British Government annexed Zululand in 1887. One of the magistracies that was established was named after the resident Commissioner and Chief Magistrate of the country, Sir Melmoth Osborn. Situated at a height of 800m, the countryside surrounding the village was ideal for growing trees, particularly wattle.
