Durban North's history: uncover the backstory
In 1927, a property development company purchased a large expanse of land just north of the Umgeni River, previously known as the Prospect Hall Sugar Estate. The company planned to transform the area into a residential suburb. At the time, access was limited to the Connaught Bridge, prompting the completion of the iron girder Athlone Bridge in November 1927, linking the suburb to Stamford Hill. This sparked rapid development in Durban North, followed by Virginia in the 1950s and Glenashley in the 1970s.
