A Legacy for the future
Extracts from a book of the same title

The early Dalton was described in 1910 as being a “small collection of buildings around a railway station, altitude 3390ft. It has grown and prospered over the years largely because it is the headquarters of The Union Co-operative Ltd which has also grown and prospered.

Dalton was named by William L’Estrange who bought part of a farm from the Boast brothers who had named the farm Dalton after their home village in England.

The decade of the 1920’s was a period of trial and tribulation for wattle growers in the Natal Midlands. The growers were encountering a very real threat of being either squeezed out or taken over by the bigger growers or companies.
