The sound of the breeze rushing through the Dlinza Forest in the heart of the town is the romantic explanation for the town's name. The more scientific is that it is a corruption of the isiZulu word ishongwe, meaning "milkbush shrubs', also prominent in the area.

The town lying on a plateau and thus protected from the subtropical humidity of surrounding areas, was proclaimed a magistracy in1887 upon Zululand's annexation by Britain and became the capital of Zululand. It has since lost this status but has grown to support a 1 800km square agricultural district.
