History of uMngeni
During the 1840s travellers moving north from Pietermaritzburg crossed the uMngeni River just west of present day Howick at the Alleman's Drift. In 1849, the Wesleyan Missionary James Archbell bought three farms above the northern bank of the uMngeni River. Title deeds of the original plots simply named the area
"The Village on the uMngeni Waterfall".
By 2030, uMngeni Local Municipality will be a people focused, efficient and cost effective municipality able to provide quality services and sustainable socio-economic development.
“uMngeni Local Municipality through people focussed development will improve its skills capacity in order to deliver quality services and ensure inclusive socio-economic growth.”

uMngeni Tourist Centres
"A series of spectacular waterfalls surround the area, which is about 29km north-west of Pietermaritzburg. At the centre of this system, nestling on the banks of the uMngeni River in the heart of the Natal Midlands, is the beautiful town of Howick and its pride, the 94m-high Howick Falls. The area is also the home of the Mandela Capture Site, which attracts a lot of local & international tourists. The Midmar Dam which is a combined gravity & earth-fill type dam and recreation area is located near Howick ."
