The first European settlement in Natal dates from 1824 when the British established Fort Natal. It became part of the Cape Colony and in 1824 it became a separate colony. In 1839 Boers who left the Cape Colony forced the British out and established the Republic Natalia, which was an independent republic until 1842. It had no arms. | The first European settlement in Natal dates from 1824 when the British established Fort Natal. It became part of the Cape Colony and in 1824 it became a separate colony.
