Adams Mission in 1886
Die nedersetting is in 1836 gestig, maar moes in 1839 herbou word nadat Dingaan dit verwoes het. Dis genoem na die Amerikaanse sendeling dr. Newton Adams (1796–1841), wat in 1835 in Natal aangekom en 'n belangrike rol gespeel het in hierdie sendingstasie. Vandag is Adams Mission steeds 'n vername opvoedkundige sentrum.
