Kingsburgh, KwaZulu-Natal
Kingsburgh is a resort town in KwaZulu-Natal, South Africa, 32 km south-west of Durban. The town is considered to be part of the KwaZulu-Natal South Coastt.
Originally known as Southern Umlazi, it comprises the holiday resorts Doonside, Illovo Beach, Karridene, St Winifred's Beach, Warner Beach and Winklespruit. It became a township in October 1942 and reached borough status in August 1952. Probably named after Richard Philip King who rode along here from Durban to Grahamstown on horseback to secure assistance for beleaguered British troops in 1842.
