Heatonville is a settlement approximately 13 km north-west of Empangeni. It was named after George Heaton Nicholls (1876-1959), member of Parliament for Zululand from 1920, later also Administrator of Natal and High Commissioner for South Africa from 1944.[1]
The area around Heatonville has a much deeper human history than the written local record suggests. A 1959 archaeological paper on “Middle and Later Stone Age Assemblages near Heatonville, Zululand” places prehistoric activity in the vicinity of Heatonville and Lower Umfolozi.
